Distracted Driving Legislation and Mobile Video Conferencing

03/21/2010tags: Government, Media, Communication, Technology, Social Media, Public Issues, Legislation, Distracted Driving, Video Conferencingby Mitch Chester

Unverified commercial currently on You Tube shows the potential of smart phone video conferencing. Are proposed distracteddriving bills ready for the next wave of social interaction?

This may be the year live cell phone video conferencing goes mainstream in America. This may also be the time when state legislatures miss akey opportunity to proactively save lives.

According to many tech observers, Apple may soon introduce two way video conferencing for the I-Phone. Other phone manufacturersare most likely feverishly working on such an application. With improved 3G and 4G networks making us all electronic neighbors, there is no

doubt that if not in 2010, within the next year or two demanding consumers will be given live video connectivity from the smart phone street.Cameras will face the front, or swivel, and a whole new way to communicate will allow a roving iris to send real time video. Off the road thistechnology is clearly exciting and useful. On the road, however, this new level of communicating may prove horribly deadly.

Yet, as state lawmakers seek to prohibit typing by drivers, their pending bills are strangely myopiclive video conferencing whiledriving isnot mentionedin pending legislation.

A quick survey of various pending bills to control distracted driving in the Florida Legislature reveals no mention of interactive video sessions.Targeted by the legislation is texting, non-voice communications, e-mailing and instant messaging. Some legislation also prohibits typingcommands to mobile browsers while driving. While most, if not all states prohibit the viewing of television while driving, the new tool ofinteractive two-way mobile video chatting is not expressly stated in much of pending governmental efforts to reduce the threat of evolvingtechnology to those on the road.

Clearly seeing what is coming down the road, Legislators can do better.

It is time for lawmakers toproactively prohibit the distraction of mobile video conferencing for driversto save livesbefore the injuryand fatality statistics add up.

About the Editor

SharedEmergency is here for a number of reasons. First, the traditional media is failing the American public, and many stories and issuesare ignored. Next, I discuss ideas and issues by also advancing potential solutions, so I am not just identifying a topic, but trying toconstructively add to the voice of those seeking resolution of the problem. Third, I have ideas and like to write and broadcast in the "newmedia." Lastly, but most importantly, this blog is devoted to my son and his children, who I hope will inherit a better world.
