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.
>make the crime more severe
Distracted driving already trebled punishments. Why is there a difference between texting and reading a broadsheet newspaper if someone causes an accident?
>like drunk driving needs to be
Already severe.
>driving with no license too
Again, most states are going to rape you in the anus for driving without a license. Especially if it was taken away for drunk driving.
That means that you should be involved in a community effort to raising kids to not be retarded adults, not fucking sell your soul to the government.
The existence and reinforcement of the nanny state and it's values is why we have retarded adults texting themselves and others to death. The nanny state and retarded adults is a positive feedback loop.
Kill the retard who invented this problem by removing keyboards from phones.
People were texting and driving for years without any incidents and then every phone had to have a touch screen for some reason and now people are dying because people in charge can't design good technology.
You don't. If you want to force people to respect the law, punish them for breaking it and educate them properly so that they understand why something is illegal in the first place instead of telling them "no because no".
wat
attach a RFID tag or something to a rock, and through it at people you see text and drive.
Now you have a technological rock to solve your problems.
Not him but with physical keyboard you could easily text without looking but now people always look at touch screens since there's no feedback.
Through more advertisements demonstrating the dangers.
A technological solution would probably be poor. There are many other distractions around when driving that are just as bad that we don't solve with technology, so going after cellphones is being specific for no real reason.
Back when we had T9, everyone could easily compose a text message without needing to look at the screen.
We read the text when we got to a red light or something and it wasn't a problem. No more a problem than changing the radio channel or change gears.
It was a good time, technology was improving at a fast rate and most people were able to keep up with it.
Then the iPhone came and it is hard to tell if things are improving or standing still. T9 almost completely died for no reason and now we have to use a super complicated AI to help us type and it still fails all the time.
People who can write a post like this one without looking at their phone is rare now.
T9, I could even switch between languages midway and still trust it got it right without me looking.
>Israel forcing people to buy Intlel products
They don't even bother hiding it anymore.
>That means that you should be involved in a community effort to raising kids to not be retarded adults, not fucking sell your soul to the government.
