3. Feds ask automakers to help limit distracted driving
Simplified, in-car communication systems, one-hand devices and disabling of text messaging, Internet and social media browsing and navigation system use are among the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recommendations, a Detroit Free Press article reports. Text messaging and other devices wouldn’t be disabled if the car is in park, if the driver can’t see the device, or if a passenger is using the device. These voluntary guidelines for automakers are an attempt to reduce distractions due to in-car electronics and mobile devices.
