One of the main functions of technology is to help us with our daily tasks.. So, smartphones are one of the most important tools of our lives, they not only make phone calls but also to use the Internet, check email, thank the whole office for services such as cloud … but technology and its risk, especially when we're driving.
Not only do we mention all those people who take Google Maps directions in this book and end up down the river, but to all those fools who check their cell phone while driving, something that many experts say, is more dangerous than getting drunk on the wheel.
So, for cars with browsers or for the latest, services like Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, operating systems are designed to make our car more "smart". But be careful, according to new research using these tools while driving It would be the same or worse than doing it with extra glasses and even getting drunk
The study puts Android Auto at the level of alcohol and drugs
According to research conducted by a UK road safety organization, IAM RoadSmart and installed by digital medium ZDNet, it uses apps like Android Auto or Apple CarPlay while driving the cause Driver response times are equivalent to those taking alcohol or drugs and driving.
In terms of concrete statistics, the use of computer controls for these operating systems while behind the wheel makes our response times increase 53% in the case of Android Auto and 57% in the case of Apple CarPlay.
The study consisted of 20 participants using Android Auto and 20 others using the Apple app. Three trips have been made in which drivers drive the car without using any of the two systems, the other using voice controls and the last one using touch controls. it was this final trip where participants were very disturbed
In short, the purpose of this research was to make users aware that without the use of tools such as those described above that make sense to drive, we must never turn our eyes away from the way. Although it is best to use voice commands, it is better for the passenger to be in charge of Android Auto in the event you find an address or want to place a specific radio chain.
Of course we recommend high maintenance on the wheel. Not just because our health is the most important thing we have, but also because we can end the lives of others in the event of an accident. Of course, there is nothing to use a cell phone behind the wheel and nothing to drive it after drinking – alcohol only kills germs – or taking something else. And in case you have Android Auto in the car … be careful please.
