Drivers in the UK will effectively be allowed to watch TV while behind the wheel of a self-driving car, under new rules announced<\/a> by the country\u2019s Department for Transport. Although drivers are currently restricted from viewing \u201cnon-driving related content\u201d on a \u201ctelevision-receiving apparatus,\u201d this rule would be waived under specific circumstances once the proposals come into force. The new rules are set to be introduced into the UK\u2019s Highway Code over the summer, according to BBC News<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

The ability to watch TV comes with some restrictions. A car will need to be driving itself at the time, and the driver must be ready to take back control of the vehicle if required. Importantly, drivers will only be allowed to view content \u201cthrough the vehicle\u2019s built-in infotainment apparatus.\u201d The thinking here is that an infotainment system can stop showing a TV show or film when the car needs the driver\u2019s attention, unlike a phone. Using a handheld phone while driving, regardless of its use, will remain illegal.<\/p>\n
