Driver Technology and Pedestrian Safety Act of 2025 mandates a study on driver-controlled technology's impact on traffic injuries and fatalities.

The Driver Technology and Pedestrian Safety Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of Transportation to commission a study on the effects of driver-controlled technology in motor vehicles, particularly focusing on severe traffic injuries and fatalities. The study will examine the prevalence and characteristics of touch screen-based systems, their user interface designs, and their impact on driver behavior. It will also compare the risks of using touch screen-based systems versus smartphones while driving.
