Overview
Driver information and assistance systems need to be well designed to be usable and safe from the driver distraction and inattention view point. International standards provide a mechanism for specifying and recording global consensus in developing and manufacturing safer in-vehicle information systems. The standards process involves key system manufacturers and system operators. DfT supports this work to help ensure that agreed standards take full account of consumer requirements and the policy objectives of Public Authorities. It is also recognised that international standards would generate a competitive market at international level, which could benefit the UK industry.
