Короткий зміст

On October 15, 1999, NHTSA will conduct a public meeting to discuss strategies for realizing the benefits of advanced driver assistance and information technologies without compromising safety. These new technologies, known as telematics, include a range of automotive devices to transmit, receive, or display information. The intent of this meeting is to share viewpoints, information, and findings, if any, relative to the safety impact of telematics devices among the public, industry, government, and safety groups. Topics to be discussed include the need for research to understand the safety implications of telematics, the role of various entities in promoting best practices in the design and use of these devices, and opportunities for proper evaluation of the safety impacts of such systems to ensure the safe design, application, and use of telematics devices.
