While some people claim that the devices, such as Onstar from GM or Ford\u2019s Sync are every bit as distracting as talking or texting on an ordinary cell phone, LaHood says the NHTSA does not have enough evidence to justify attempting to support a ban. He claims that they are investigating whether such devices could constitute a \u2018cognitive distraction\u2019 for drivers. \u201cWe base our solutions on data, and before I or anyone else gets up and starts talking about \u2018hands free this\u2019 or \u2018hands free that\u2019, or Sync or whatever, we want to have good data to back it up.\u201d","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/hands-free-kit.gif"}
