ICBC has chosen two pilot projects aimed at reducing the incidence of distracted driving.
The first will include up to 200 customers using phone apps paired with telematics.
Road Safety Program Manager, Mark Milner says telematic technology involves fitting a vehicle with a small device that communicates with an app installed on the driver’s cellphone…..
ICBC has yet to confirm which vendors the new devices will come from and hasn’t yet chosen volunteers for the pilot.
It’s set to launch in January with results tabulated in the spring.
The other device will be used by police to capture images of distracted driving and share them with other officers in the immediate area.
