How Car Companies Are Combatting Texting While Driving
Distracted driving continues to be a major problem on the roads. Smartphones ping and buzz, drawing drivers’ attention away from what’s in front of them. A recent reminder of this came last week, when police in Tennessee said that the driver in a December school bus crash had been texting at the wheel. Three people were killed in that incident, including two elementary school students.
With demand surging for technology in vehicles, automakers recognize the need to deliver features that allow drivers to more safely interact with incoming calls and texts -- without touching or looking at their phones.
Thinking Global
Part one of a two part interview with Esther Calvo Bolaño, vice president of international sales for LeasePlan International, is featured this week in ‘Think Local Plan Global.' She says, “Nowadays, we see the globalization trend at multinational corporations. Many of our clients are looking for a way to harmonize their operations at diverse levels in order to gain visibility and control, and drive down cost. That is why, even if a fleet manager is just responsible for a local market like the United States, it is good to start thinking globally.” Great advice.
