Watch Secretary LaHood, DOT Driver Distraction Summit 2009
Please watch these Social Commentary videos about
What we do?: Intellectual
Property in the area of Driver Distraction Mitigation
through smart HMI and adaptive Workload manager.
The Automotive industry is not a villain here, nor it is the only contributor to the persistence of this problem. Researchers and their funding partners are muddying up the water by confusing distraction, cognitive attention, hand free, and hand held. The fact that cognitive attention effect is the same for hand held and hand free, does not mean that having hands free to control the steering is not safer.

A mother took this video of her son playing with his car and cell phone. I am not sure what her intent was, but it very much reminded me with my children and others at their early age and how they used to run to the phone when it rings. My son, used to leave me and go over to his grand parents, another apartment in the same structure, just to call me and talk to me on the phone. The same was true with one or more child in my immediate family as well as children of friends and colleagues. (Family children, now teen agers, were and are part of my focus group because they tend to act their real intention without prejudice). he little boy here uses his phone exactly like an adult would. he partly imitates the adults (pulling open the antenna with his teeth), and he never leaves the phone to regain balance and falls to the ground while still holding the phone. This very much compares to the way adults hold on to the phone and continue the conversation, but they leave the steering wheel while driving to take a puff, scratch, sneeze, change the radio, etc. The mystery of the phone, unlike a live conversation, always leave the spectator wondering about what's going on in that little set and make them yearn to be on the inside of the call. Could that be the reason why we can not put our phone down? The expectations? The Mystery? and the climax of knowing who is on the other side, even though it is not something we particularly like? I believe it is. I believe that our obsession with these medias is just that, an obsession and a compulsion to be IN and not be left out. This is my conclusion and this video from the world wide web confirms our desire to be IN, Like Mom, Dad and our friends. Please enjoy the video. Mouhamad A. Naboulsi
