Distracted driving is a terrible scourge and unfortunately likely to get even worse with the emergence of Level 3 semi-autonomous cars while on the path to the Level 5 truly self-driving driverless autonomous car.
You could assert that distracted driving is nothing new.
By-and-large there are now GPS systems either built into the car console or that drivers use via their smartphones. This might have alleviated the folding and unfolding of a paper-based map, but it still involves a form of distraction, typically involving glancing at the screen to see what the directions indicate.
Some point to today’s society and suggest that the ease of drive-thru eateries for a quick meal while driving is a grand temptress for distracted driving. The advent of smartphones and the intense desire to keep-up with your emails is another inducement to distracted driving. Worse of all, some say, involves texting while driving.
• Or, an alternative approach involves skipping past semi-autonomous cars and producing purely and truly self-driving cars .
