| Nextnation Supports Ban on Handheld Texting While Driving |
|
Kuala Lumpur - August 19, 2010 Nextnation, a leading mobile platform developer, today announced that it supports a ban on handheld text messaging behind the wheel. Its obvious distractions pose a serious danger to drivers, their passengers and others on the road. The practice of texting while driving takes drivers' eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel, which has led to a number of highly-publicized accidents. The Group advocates for the creation of a safer, smarter driving environment with in-car systems, devices and mobile phones powered by voice-based, or speech technologies. Nextnation also advocates for a federal initiative that drives the increased deployment of these systems, enabling a safer mobile environment via hands-free interfaces requiring limited to no visual confirmation.
