Government Sticking Nose in Connected Cars
With everything being connected to the internet in one way or another, it has even migrated to cars. This has undoubtedly presented some serious problems to the department of transportation. Personally it seems like having internet phones in cars is somewhat useless. One of the ways that the government is creating guidelines for disabling the features that require people to look at the screen, when the car is moving. There will be other guidelines for the devices that are brought in the car as well as the voice activated features. The well equipped car are already following rules set by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. The focus has been on getting the driver fast information about where they are going and how they are going to get there. They also want to keep the driver as safe as possible with all the new technology. There was a study done that points to the fact that even hands free calling and talking are a distraction. I would take this information with a grain of salt because the researchers still need to factor in the distractions of talking to the passengers and how much that affects the driving.

Phone services like internet fax is a dumb idea anyways. Plus any phone service is dangerous in cars.
Why do people want all these phone services in vehicles anyways. Leaving a voicemail is even dangerous to do.
I use phone services that are hands free like voicemail while driving.
I think guidelines like no phone services in cars should be met for safety reasons.
I think that there needs to be limits with the phone services in cars. Internet faxing is a ridiculous idea.
Driving and phone services will never be a good match. Accidents will always happen.
Be safe when using phone services and driving. Even leaving a voicemail can be risky.
There should be penalties for driving and using phone services. Even a voicemail can cause a wreck.
