We know that influencing decisions about safe versus unsafe behavior can be a challenge, especially when the injury risk is one that people are exposed to many times a day. Changing the environment can be a very effective way to prevent injury. A change in the surroundings can often eliminate the continuous need for safe decisions.
Each time they're on the road, drivers and passengers are protected by many engineering devices that automatically work to reduce crashes and injury: rear brake lights, air bags, crash-absorbing vehicle engineering, vehicle stability control, and cables in freeway medians,
Likewise, a solution to prevent distracted driving crashes includes technologies that automatically mitigate calls and texts, and hold them for when people are finished driving. To be viable and encourage adoption, these technologies must allow 911 emergency calls and have a solution to enable passengers' use of phones while riding in a moving vehicle or using public transportation.
These technologies are ideal for company fleet managers, and employers who want to support their cell phone policies. They're also a solution for parents of teen drivers, and by drivers who want to reduce their own temptation to use phones while driving.
