New Cars Are More and More Crammed With Distracting Technology

New Cars Are More and More Crammed With Distracting Technology

Posted on October 26, 2017

The infotainment tech that auto producers are packing into the console of new cars is forcing drivers take their hands off the wheel and eyes from the road for hazardously long span of time, an AAA study claims.

The study rolled out this week is the newest by professor David Strayer of University of Utah, who has been testing the effect of infotainment network on security for Foundation for Traffic Safety of AAA from 2013. Prior studies also recognized issues, but Strayer claimed that the bang of tech has made situations worse.

New Cars Are More and More Crammed With Distracting Technology

Auto producers now comprise more infotainment alternatives to permit drivers to utilize email, social media, and text. The tech is also turning out to be more difficult to use. Cars used to have a couple of knobs and buttons. Some cars now have as many as 50 knobs and buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, which are multi-functional. There are voice commands, touch screens, heads-up displays, writing pads on mirrors and windshields, and 3-D computer-generated pictures.

“It’s including additional layers of information and complexity at fingertips of drivers without frequently considering if it is a good thought to place it at their fingertips,” claimed Strayer to the media. That difficulty elevates the “in-general” amount of time drivers invest making an attempt to utilize the systems. The auto segment claims that the new networks are better substitutes for drivers than navigation devices and mobile phones that were not developed to be utilized during driving.

“The vehicle-incorporated systems are developed to be utilized in the driving atmosphere and need attention of driver that is similar to adjusting climate controls or tuning the radio, which have always been measured baseline adequate behaviors during driving,” claimed a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, Wade Newton, to the media in an interview. But AAA’s director for traffic safety research and advocacy, Jake Nelson, claimed that drivers examining all 30 of the light trucks and model cars of this year took their hands off the wheel and eyes off the streets while utilizing infotainment networks.
