Ford Motor Company - Driver Distraction

"The availability and use of cellular phones has increased, and some people are using them while driving. We believe the primary responsibility of drivers is the safe operation of their vehicles. We hope the results of recent driver distraction studies conducted at the Ford Scientific Research Lab will cause drivers to think twice about using their cell phones behind the wheel.

Ford Motor Company's $10 million driving simulator laboratory helps our researchers study driver workload and distraction issues related to new in-vehicle electronic devices. "
