Watch TV while driving?

Will we be able to watch an episode of Stranger Things or Squid Game while behind the wheel on your way into work soon?

Actually, probably not - but there may be a relaxation on what you could be doing.

The federal government will be carrying out a study next year which will examine the impact drivers’ aids are having and do they justify allowing the driver more leeway on using a phone or other device?

The project will clarify which non-driving activities could be allowed in the future if the car is fitted with various driving aids. 

But you won’t be able to watch TV – or take a nap - just yet. All systems require the driver to be able to take control if required.
