Key Points

This bill directs the Department of Transportation to investigate how touch screens in cars affect road safety. It aims to find out if replacing physical buttons and knobs with screens leads to more accidents for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Experts will look at 10 years of data to see how screen size, brightness, and menu layouts impact driver attention. The study will also compare the dangers of using a car's built-in screen versus using a handheld smartphone while driving.
After the study is finished, the government must recommend new safety standards. These suggestions could lead to new laws or updated regulations for car manufacturers to make dashboards less distracting and safer for everyone on the road.
