When I read discussions like this, I generally have no idea what people are talking about.
For instance, people constantly talk about "texting while driving". Maybe it's because of my age, but if this actually means typing on a phone's on screen keyboard, I just can't understand how someone could actually be good enough at this to not crash immediately.
But conversely, I don't understand how anyone can not "use their cellphone while driving". Isn't cell phone navigation the standard way of getting around these days? Who uses built-in car navigation or paper maps?
And finally, if anyone cared about distractions, then why does my streaming music app stop every 20 minutes while I'm driving (I generally ignore it, or else I pull over to reset it, but if I could fix it while driving it would be very tempting)
