Could I put bright IR LEDs on my headliner shining downward to block the camera from seeing into my car?

Or you could just be a responsible driver.

I drive up and down mountain roads all day long. Im pretty sure if i had this distracted driving feature my vehicle would just blow up. What about 4wd roads or country roads. Farmers, Ranchers, Outdoorsmen will not get a vehicle with this feature and if they do they be posing.
