Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin.   The statistics surrounding distracted driving in the U.S. are staggering.    In 2023 it claimed more than 32 hundred lives and injured one hundred times that many.   Technology can help in some instances with automatic emergency braking and cameras to watch the driver.   But GM Safety Engineer Dan Glaser says we can take action on our own…“What people need to do is have a mind shift when they first get into the vehicle.  Hopefully, they buckle up, should always buckle up, but then to just zip up, without much thought about what do I need during this drive.  What can I do to make this drive more relaxing?  Think about the things you might want.  So cue up your navigation, get your favorite podcast going.”We’ve got lots of full interviews including this one for you.   Find more at GM.com.You can find us at Techstination.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
