U.S. Expected to Seek Limits on Car Touchscreens
U.S. traffic safety regulators are expected to propose stronger measures to keep drivers from being distracted by in-car touchscreens.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator David Strickland have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon to address distracted driving.
A spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers says the government has discussed a limit of six touches or 12 seconds. The alliance is concerned that the regulations will encourage the use of mobile devices while driving.
