Can technology solve the problems it creates?
That question came to the forefront again as several companies took
Tuesdays Distracted Driving Summit in Washington as an opportunity to push
new technologies to prevent or reduce the dangers of texting and talking
on cellphones while driving.
The event emphasized the real problems that Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood said were evident on the road. According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes
involving a distracted driver and more than half a million were injured.
There is no national law barring drivers from using cellphones. Thirty
states and the District of Columbia prohibit drivers from texting, and
eight states have passed laws barring drivers from using handheld
cellphones. And there have been efforts to encourage nationwide
compliance, like a bill sponsored by Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat of
New York, that would withhold a portion of transportation money to states
that refuse to pass laws against drivers text messaging. But many safety
advocates and industry experts say they believe that tickets and fines
arent enough of a deterrent.
You can pass all the laws you want and educate people, said Matt Howard,
the founder and chief executive of Zoomsafer, but the practical reality is
people cant resist reaching for their phone when they are behind the
wheel.
Consequently, Mr. Howards solution is to shut off access to phones when
they are in a car. His company offers software that can automatically
disable texting and calls on a Blackberry when the owner gets into a
vehicle.
