When we think about distracted driving, we automatically think of smartphones. They’re indispensable. They’re addictive. They can also be dangerous.
Our phones also offer a great defense against distraction — a “do not disturb” feature that can block incoming calls and notifications while the user is driving. Other apps have the potential to reduce other types of distracted driving, encourage safer speeds and provide basic crash avoidance capabilities for every vehicle in the U.S. fleet. What’s more, the biggest players in the smartphone industry are eager to be part of the solution.
