Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 19, 2016

Make that mandatory on all cars, pleeeeze!

Make it mandatory before the engine starts.

Statistical analysis shows that texting and driving is actually very safe, with a very low incidence of accidents resulting. I can only assume it is on the order of less than two million to one. If this were not so, insurance companies would already be lobbying for all cars to incorporate Faraday cage technology by embedding a conductive mesh in all vehicular window glass to block radio signal transmission.

Let’s face it. Most people drive very poorly through natural talent ( or lack thereof ).

An excellent technology upgrade idea. Someone needs to develop affordable virtual-reality driving training also.

I do not think virtual reality training would be very effective. You would be driving differently if you knew it wasn’t real.

I don’t text when I home…

This could be an idea worth looking into.

If only . . ….!

There it goes again. Every time I formulate a perfect theory, reality has to go and wreck it with its stupid “facts”.

A real smart car.
