Fonte Oficial: EU General Safety Regulation 2019/2144
Dica do Instrutor
“EU GSR2 Phase 3 requires camera-based distraction monitoring from July 2026. The system detects if you're looking at your phone or not paying attention. Combined with ISA (already mandatory), Swedish new cars will have comprehensive driver monitoring.”
