## Summary

**Driver-controlled technology safety.** This bill would require the Transportation Secretary to commission a National Academies study on how touch screen and other driver-controlled systems affect driver distraction and severe injuries and fatalities, including for pedestrians and bicyclists. - Families and vulnerable road users: The study would examine links between in-vehicle touch screens and severe injuries or deaths involving drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and would offer recommendations to reduce those harms. - Drivers and vehicle designers: It would compare touch screen controls, tactile controls, and smartphone use to study how user interface designs change driver behavior and crash risk, informing potential guidance or standards. - Federal safety data and regulators: The Secretary would recommend changes to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, National Occupant Protection Use Surveys, and the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria to collect touchscreen and smartphone use data. The study would start quickly and the Secretary would report findings and recommendations to Congress and publish them publicly.
