In the US, the use of the Internet in the systems of new cars will be limited
The American authorities have decided to urge manufacturers of modern cars to change the format of the multimedia systems built into cars. The solution is aimed at maintaining road safety. Local drivers are so obsessed with the entertainment systems that equip their vehicle that they completely overlook safe driving. Because of this, a large number of accidents occur, which claim the lives of more than one thousand drivers and pedestrians per year. While the appeals of the governing bodies are only advisory in nature.
According to preliminary plans of the authorities responsible for road safety, multimedia systems should be blocked while the car is moving. Accordingly, the driver will not be able to use social networks and access the Internet while driving on the roads. As soon as the gearbox is switched to the «parking» position, the entertainment system is immediately unlocked and it will be possible to use the Internet to the fullest..
The same recommendations apply to the built-in navigator on board the vehicle. That is, the driver must use it for no more than 2 seconds to select the required route. It is possible that the use of this device will also be limited in accordance with the recommendations of the authorities..
Automobile manufacturers completely disagree with this opinion. They believe that drivers, without access to on-board multimedia devices, will still use smartphones, which poses an even greater danger..
