Dept. of Transportation wants control over phone navigation apps

“The U.S. Department of Transportation is asking for explicit power to regulate navigation devices of all types, including apps on your smartphone or tablet.  A measure in the proposed GROW (Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America) America Act would give the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the authority to set restrictions on apps and also order changes if the app’s features are considered dangerous.  [..] Whether or not the bill passes as is, regulators say they already have authority over navigation apps.”
