How do we prevent (in a technological solution) people from texting while driving? Points you should consider:
>"Texting-while-driving" colloquially may also refer to any actions made on a phone that requires the driver to look away from the road and/or lift one of their hands off of the steering wheel.
>Your solution should not prevent non-driving passengers from using their phones.
>Your solution should be reasonable and realistic.
News you should know of:
>Israeli law demands any new car to have a Mobileye ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) in it. It a system that alerts the driver if the car is drifting from the lane, if the car in front is too close, and other dangers. Soon, 100% of Israeli drivers will have Mobileye in their cars.
>According to a Pew Research Centre survey, 40% of American teens say that they have been in a car where the driver used a cell phone in a way which put people in danger.
>11% of drivers who are between the ages of 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile crash and survived have admitted that they were either sending or receiving texts when they crashed.
>National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that distracted drivers were the cause of 18% of all fatal crashes.
Prevention of texting-while-driving
Why should technology be a nanny? People are taught over and over not to do this, even people who do not drive. If you choose to ignore this it's your own fault and you deserve the consequences of your actions.
>it's your own fault and you deserve the consequences of your actions
You can get killed by texters your moron. You don't have to be doing the texting yourself in order to be killed by a distracted driver.
>nanny
Boomer neocon buzzword.
>and/or lift one of their hands off of the steering wheel.
>t. cuck who hasn't driven a stick
You're literally advocating for a nanny state by sacrificing freedom for safety.
>How do we prevent (in a technological solution) people from texting while driving?
You are free not to drive if you want to text, you aren't free to kill or main others.
You can't.
All laws sacrifice freedom for safety. The argument you should be making is "where do we draw the line?".
make the crime more severe.
like drunk driving needs to be
driving with no license too..
The same logic lead to prohibition dude. People to this very day still drunk and drive. The problem here isn't drunk driving, driving while high or texting while driving, the problem is irresponsible behavior. Nobody is trying to address why people do stupid shit, instead just trying to address the stupid shit. Specially because the easiest way to think is "people are stupid xD", which yeah is a given but murder-suicidal stupid? There's no evidence to support that.
