I guess the US Government has the budget deficit, the lagging economy, its poor long-term outlook, energy issues, the national debt, the WHOLE Middle East situation, illegal immigration, political corruption, the pending economic collapse of the Euro, international terrorism, drug smuggling, money laundering, the trade deficit, the lack of a Cubs World Series, etc, ALL SOLVED!. So now they can address this. What about the passenger in the vehicle? Would this prevent them from operating the device?? Not a good idea. A bigger problem is drivers operating and texting on their phones. Is this really a problem big enough to need a Federal solution??

Why do you think we have NAV unlocks from PAC, Coastal, and NAV-TV? Mostly to unlock the Nav to enter addresses, browse Sirius/XM categories, etc. and of course UNLOCK that pesky DVD video lockout on the front screen! Is it illegal to have these unlock devices? NO. It may be illegal in your state to USE them while the vehicle is in motion, but that is at the owner's discretion, as these unlock units require you to activate AND answer questions on the screen each time you start your vehicle. It's similar to owning a gun. You can legally own a gun, but the question and legality of using it is where you can get into trouble. It should also be noted that data shows that “the vast majority of shootings occur because of dangerous behavior, including shooting drunk, shooting while distracted, and shooting too fast.” Umm, in my experience as an expeditor, most Factory Navigation systems ALREADY have these lockouts, and force you to park the car and/or put the parking brake on.

Any start up US maker will not have a chance. A few years of regulations will make it so difficult to make infotament systems/ car tech in the US that you might as well not make any. I guess DOT just wants us to buy them all from China. More regulation means less US Jobs and more business obstacles/clutter. What about passengers that assist in POI stops while I'm driving? I guess they don't matter? Because all cars are one seater's! Right?. I have an idea, DOT, why don't you make it so there are no more cars, just busses and public transportation. OH, and we cant go online while in the bus. That would be dangerous to the administration, OH and while you are at it why don't you regulate the Internet just in case, (forgot you are already doing that) What happened to our Free USA that I love. Why are we constantly told what to do and how to do it! This is the first step in controlling all electronic devices (so called safety). Any start up US maker will not have a chance.
