Please stop multitasking while driving.

The tech seems neat and all but please stop multitasking while driving, encouraging others to multitask while driving, and building products specifically designed to encourage multitasking while driving.

If you want to work while you're in transit: take public transit.

The problem is that probably over 98% of the roads in the country are almost 0 chance of unexpected event. Nearly empty roads, small towns and cities with crosswalks that never see a single pedestrian.

In the bay though. Holy crap driving here was a wake up call for me. You cannot drive distracted here. I've driven in every major US city. The bay is by far the worst. Yes even then NYC, ATL and Miami. Chicago or Houston is a probably 2nd worst.

At the same time my partner often gets mad at me for refusing to do anything but focus when I drive. So I agree in general but I'm not everyone. This device seems like it will help people avoid incidents.

Please hand your driver's licence and car keys over at your nearest police station.

Quickly, before you kill someone

Your self rightousness got in the way of your reading comprehension.

Just thinking that an unexpected event can't happen on the road shows a huge lapse in judgment and that's just the first sentence. Thinking they're special and different other people is another big red flag.

How do they think they're special? What are y'all even reading?

They're saying you always need to pay attention.
