The EU has passed a law that will make it so you are constantly monitored in your very own car. To lower car accidents, of course.

The EU has stated that it WON'T use the cameras for identifying people with biometric data. But at this point, can we trust anyone to keep a promise like this?

The treasure trove of personal data on the internet was always supposedly "only for practical purposes," but we know full well it is being used by intelligence agencies to find and profile "extremists" in advance. It's completely reasonable to expect that the same thing will happen again.

At any rate, whatever happens will not be a rational, conscious collective decision by humanity. Technocrats, businessmen and politicians (who are "steering the wheel") all follow the same playbook of technological progress and maximum efficiency. If we are to preserve our privacy, autonomy and dignity, we must seriously question the industrial technology that forms the basis of society.
