According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, dashboard devices cause distracted driving accidents. These infotainment centers are built-in technology to most modern vehicles, and they include voice or touch screen navigation. While men have a tendency to use technology for directions, more so than women, AAA conducted a study in Connecticut which found men will admit to being distracted far more than women.
Even if one feels as though he or she is driving safely, entering a destination into a navigation system can take up a significant amount of one’s time and attention. Of the 30 new 2017 models, 2/3 of them had built-in technology systems rated as “highly” distracting. The vehicles ranged across a number of models, including but not limited to: Audi, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Nissan, Toyota, Tesla Volvo, and more.
