Technology is fully present within our world, and lives today. If you were to look up you would notice probably a computer monitor, you would probably be in the same room as a television, or just simply check your pocket, or purse for your cellphone. No matter what aspect it involves we not only use technology in this day and age, but heavily rely on it as well. However, when it comes down to that of driving does technology help you or hurt you while you are behind the wheel?
Call Me Maybe?
The power of the cellphone has certainly increased within the past decade or so. Many individuals today run their lives all on these small, electronic devices from planning their week, setting a wake-up alarm, or connecting with friends. While all of these are fun, and very productive things to do they are not when an individual is behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Today, cellphones behind the wheel of the car are becoming known as one of the leading causes of car accidents, whether it is from texting while driving, talking on the phone, or simply using applications or the internet.
While may functions of a phone being used behind the wheel of have had a lot of negative stipulation, and connotation in the past a new application today is now trying to help drivers truly focus on the wheel, and on the road.
A Step Towards Safer Technology
Currently, a team of researchers at Rutgers University recently developed an application to help drivers focus more on the road, and less on their cellphone. How the application actually works requires the phone to be in sync with the vehicle sound system via Bluetooth, or auxiliary cord. From there, the application, when in use, will either forward an individual’s call or text message to a missed communications box in their phone, answer the phone or respond to a text message stating the individual is currently driving during the time of the call or message, or even link up an individual’s driving to their social media outlets in order to inform others that they are behind the wheel.
Developers of the application are still coming up with new ways, and components of the application to help better further an individual’s concentration on the road, and away from their cellular device.
