Navdy: HUD for your car

In my opinion passengers are far better than phone calls because the passenger has contextual awareness of what's happening while you're driving. He or she will pause a sentence while you're trying to merge onto the freeway, for example.

You're assuming they a: notice and pay attention to the road, and b: they're familiar with how to drive, so know that is a trickier maneuver, and c: that they know how well you drive, so can contextualize a pause based on your ability.

nope, it doesn't happen in real life.

You've never had someone pause a conversation while you merge onto a highway?

Me personally? Not without asking, no.

I have been in far more close calls as a result of being distracted by my passengers than by my cell phone.
