ELDs have been a predictably miserable failure - as the article points out, their very rigidity in draconian enforcement of "safety" rules actually creates perverse incentives to do unsafe things (like ignoring needed maintenance, etc.)

This does not just affect truckers - as "driver monitoring" becomes an anti-feature in many new cars (especially EVs or "self-driving" cars), there will be more and more cases of people (quite reasonably) bristling at Big Brother looking over their shoulder and into their eyeballs every moment they are in their own car.

As for me, I'm leaning heavily towards a life goal to never again buy a car with a screen in the dashboard.
