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…

Outlaw this dangerous distraction 7/19/00 9:15:56 AM

It is common knowledge that reading an e-mail, composing a reply, correcting or rewriting the reply, sending it, forwarding it to others, etc. requires ATTENTION to the task. The amount of attention that should be allowed to such tasks while someone is driving a motor vehicle should be ZERO. ABSOLUTELY ZERO. NONE! This kind of driver distraction endangers the driver, passengers, and other innocent drivers on the road as well. Would you want Greyhound bus drivers to check their e-mail? Would you want airline pilots to check their e-mail while flying an aircraft? How about doctors in an operating room? Just because technology is available does not mean that it is appropriate to use it anywhere and everywhere! The average driver pays little enough attention to the road, and permitting them to play with e-mail is dangerous, unsafe and plain stupid.
