People are using their cars like they’re already driverless ;)
- rndgermandude 8y agoI've seen a driver watching porn on a maybe 20 inch screen while on a packed but still speedy Autobahn. One hand holding the screen while steering with his wrist pressed against the wheel (looked rather elaborate and acrobatic even), kinda, while the other hand was out of sight and "busy" somewhere "below". I've seen another driver having her foot on top of the wheel, cutting her toenails with a clipper, also on the Autobahn. And the amount of truck drivers I seen reading a newspaper (actual-paper one, usually "Bild") while behind the wheel is astonishing.
- InitialLastName 8y agoI had a [ride-hailing service that shall go unnamed] driver actually start watching a movie on his car's infotainment system (I assume it was after-market to allow that) while driving us. With subtitles, no less. In moderate traffic (which is the worst kind for distracted driving).
- curun1r 8y agoI took a mini-bus while I was in Bangkok to go to a nearby beach area and the driver was literally doing both. He had his headphones on and was simul-watching YouTube videos and talking about them over the phone with what we guessed was his girlfriend. I was almost equal parts horrified/afraid for my life and amazed that he was able to successfully weave through traffic while doing it.
