Dennis Tan on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
Singapore’s regulatory frameworks must keep pace with the changing nature of digital distractions confronting drivers, which no longer arises only from handheld phones. This includes wearable technology such as smartwatches and the design of modern vehicle cockpits itself. Making this point in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4), MP Dennis Tan asked if Singapore will consider imposing standards governing increasingly screen-dependent cockpit designs, vehicle mobile application control functions and pre-installed infotainment systems. He also urged a proactive study into the effects of using multiple mounted devices, which he said is a practical reality for many private-hire drivers.
