The media has been full of speculation recently relating to the 'connected car'.

Just in case you've missed it, this is all about the increasing numbers of cars that are built with an Internet connection integrated into their design. That can be used for in-car entertainment, communications systems and it might also have a role in things such as problem/diagnosis, resolution and perhaps ultimately driverless vehicles.

Safety - a marketing advantage?

Ostensibly, this decision and those like it taken by other legislatures around the world are branded for communication and PR as a 'public health issue'.
