Although completely reasonable, I fear that your conclusion is inaccessible for most folks.

And as a pedestrian, I'm all for a system that's capable of reducing distracted driving.

How to disincentivize a motorist public is to make driving a stressful affair- currently, it's other people. Soon, it'll be catalogs of minor infractions caught, at the millisecond intervals they occur in, forever and the bill to pay it showing up every single week for the rest of your driving lives. Odds are it's going to be scrapped, made a Boogeyman for a while, and then come back every time people get testy about gas prices

The trick to get people to not drive as much is to make public transportation easier not driving hard. All you accomplish by making driving hard is punishing the group of people who have the least agency.

Let me guess, you are urban planning.
