Ask The Best And Brightest: Will/Should In-Car Connectivity Systems Be Regulated?

With GM’s announcement of a new SYNC-competitor system, the issue of whether or not in-car connectivity systems are compatible with the government’s desire to reduce distracted driving has raised its head once again. So we put the question to you, our Best and Brightest: will the government ever step in to regulate in-car electronics? Should it? After all, distraction comes in all shapes and sizes… from fast food to in-car Facebook updates. Can the government draw a line between acceptable distractions and unacceptable ones? Will any government action actually make a difference in the statistics?

      Good list and very true. Most of us are monitored and data is collected on us without us realizing it.

    Perhaps management should ask themselves why so many of these people have left? Z71 is still going strong as EBflex, so that hasn't changed.

    You get what you incentivize, regulations aren't going to cut it, but if Karen goes to jail for 10 to 20 years for hitting a cyclist while she was texting and driving, that should put an end to it.

    Perhaps the Government should track Telluride ATPs so future generations may reflect upon their glory?
