Create a bipartisan commission to evaluate the danger to public safety of new consumer technology

Created by B.T. on March 06, 2013

New consumer technology is released every day that changes the way we interact with our environment. Of particular concern are the devices we use while driving. Driving is an everyday activity where we interact with hundreds of other people, and a moment's inattention can have disastrous results.

Wearable devices like Google Glass display information directly in front of the user's eyes, which could be hazardous if worn while driving.

I'm proposing the formation of a bipartisan commission consisting of members of congress and industry professionals. This group will work with companies like Google, Apple and Samsung to take a closer look at devices that are near to market and to evaluate the risks associated with using these devices in everyday activities.
