After a strong year for car and truck sales, automakers have a flood of new models in the works to woo buyers in 2015.

Message to Self: In 2015, Stop Texting While Walking
As a society, we now spend almost half of our waking hours looking at screens, according to numerous reports. People have admitted to using their smartphone in meetings, on the toilet and even during sex. And according to a 2013 research report compiled by Liberty Mutual Insurance, 70 percent of people in the United States admit to texting and walking.
