If the vehicle had these features built in by the manufacturer, and it was employer policy that the driver does not disable those features, would you still consider that to be a case of employers "judging" driving behaviour in real time? Or would it perhaps be a perfectly reasonable policy?

This is a monitoring system that helps drivers drive safer. Why are you assuming that it's anything else?

You're assuming "judgement" in a way that isn't related to driver safety that is not supported by anything in the article or the features themselves.

My understanding is that this is a system which is recording the driver for review by human management at a later date. Which is very different from anything that would come pre-installed in a vehicle.
We hear you want to unionize, unfortunately your driving record shows you were what “we” call a bad employee and are fired immediately. No you can not disputed the reasons and no we will no show you the evidence.
I think we're coming at this from fundamentally different worldviews. Mine tells me employers always turn new technology against labor. I don't assume it will happen, I look to history and make an informed prediction.
