NHTSA Needs a Phone Driver Mode as an Essential Part in the U.S

Listen to this article

As we know that latest smart-phones have car-optimized interfaces such as Apple Car-play and Android Auto. Most of us periodically see safety measures that close features by enabling others during your driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration needs much better approach. They have proposed voluntary guidelines in order to motivate and encourage mobile phone manufacturers in making essential for combining with commercial systems. It is much similar to the Car-Play and Android Auto, and fundamentally a driving mode that cuts back on disruption. It would supposedly have a simple interface that reduces the time you are spending for looking away from the road. It would either downplay or disables unnecessary features while you are driving. Most often, officials will need to be disabling the driving mode “Manual Text Entry”, maybe using keyboards, photo, unnecessary text, video playback, web and social networking.

You shouldn’t consider it automatically. The agency will need the mode to be functional while you are travelling faster than a crawling speed of 5MPH because it would be more difficult to find out the difference between a passenger and a driver. You should have to pray yourself until this technology come to you and there will be a disregard if you are simply using an app. These guidelines should not be considered binding and there would be other phase of NHTSA effort to minimize disruptions in the commercial systems. This proposal would prompt Google, Apple and others in making anti-disruption features according to their platforms. You don’t need to see for prompting any kind of dangerous behavior behind the wheel, so these safety measures have their own importance.
