It’s voluntary (for now). Not hard for a phone app to see you’re using the device just before the accelerometer detects a crash.

All cars built after September 2027 in the US must have surveillance technology on board to detect impaired drivers and restrict the operation of the vehicle if impairment is detected. This includes drowsiness. Which means they can track your eyes. Not a big step at all to not only detect if a phone is in use but to record that data.
