This page is devoted to discussions regarding specific in-vehicle technologies: cell phones, navigation systems, night vision systems, wireless Internet, and information and entertainment systems, among others. The purpose is to provide an avenue for drivers to share their experiences with, and impressions of these technologies so that benefits of these systems can be realized without causing unsafe driver distraction. Although specific in-vehicle devices are emphasized here, comment and discussion relevant to other non-technological or conventional sources of distraction are also welcome. Be sure to take or view results of our informal polls.
Please tell us about your experience with these technologies…

If someone wasn't serious about doing this, I would think it must be a joke. As it already is, I cannot make a simple drive anywhere in my city without encountering crashes and/or near-misses due to people on cell-phones, engrossed in conversation or dialing, oblivious and unconcerned that they are an actual threat to the very lives of the rest of us on the road. Adding even more distraction for people who already can't handle what they have is truly rediculous, especially when you can be sure that the folks who already run out and get the latest distraction will also add the newest one to come along. I firmly believe that the insurance ratings should be brought into this, also, and that people who have these devices should pay significantly higher auto insurance rates. I have been too many times too close to being in a wreck due solely to irresponsible and inconsiderate gadget-queens and gadget-kings.
