Yes, but part of the issue is that mass adoption touchscreens in cars requires greater attention than analog consoles and should be addressed first.
@9MPYFLR2mos2MO
No, but it should provide tax breaks for buyers of cars with technology that allows drivers to interface with their smartphones via the entertainment system instead of holding their phones in their hands
@9P9DXRG1mo1MO
Yes, but 'penalties' is too vague considering they vary from state to state.
@9P82WP21mo1MO
Public awareness campaigns are more effective than the negligible deterrent effect of increased punishments for civil offenses and misdemeanors in nearly every case.
@9RDKXM84 days4D
No. If yes, the penalty should be put toward more efficient and environmentally friendly (self driving, EV, and EV public transportation) funding.
