According to a recent survey motorists are hoping the vehicles of the future will enable them to make more productive use of drive time and integrate more efficiently with mobile technologies, report news sources.
The overarching conclusion drawn form the “Driving the Connected Consumer” survey was that connected consumers believe that society has been brought closer together by technology, but that vehicles lag behind home and work setups for maintaining that connectivity and productivity.
Some of the connectivity boosting technologies that consumers reported wanted to have available during their commutes included the ability to use voice to type and send emails and text messages as well as instant updates for weather and traffic. Consumers were also willing to put their money where there mouths are, with 80 percent of respondents saying that they were willing to pay extra for these voice-activated features.
As a Charleston car accident lawyer, motorist safety is something that I am very conscious of. Perhaps voice-activated technologies will allow drivers to stay safe and connected. Because of my experience as a Charleston personal injury attorney, I am very aware of the split-second difference between everything seeming fine and a terrible vehicle crash. I urge motorists to always practice safe driving habits including avoiding distractions like texting while behind the wheel.
