How EU road safety regulations will use cameras in cars to tackle distracted driving

The European Union is considering integrating advanced driver monitoring systems that utilize cameras to detect and prevent distracted driving. These systems, which have been around since 2006, can identify when drivers are not paying attention, potentially through actions like not using seat belts or inappropriate phone use. This move is significant because distracted driving is a leading cause of road accidents and fatalities across Europe. By using technology to proactively address this issue, the EU aims to enhance road safety and reduce the number of accidents linked to driver distraction.
