It works in spite of these legitimate concerns because the actual time it takes to visually acquire the target is measured in milliseconds, and drivers already know how to assess the road and determine that 'nothing can happen' in the next few hundred milliseconds. If you're in tight traffic with drivers jockeying for position, you don't take that opportunity to skip a song. You wait until it's settled.
We do this already when we eat or drink in the car, turn to look at a passenger during conversation, read a billboard, etc.
- SolaceQuantum 7y ago"...drivers already know how to assess the road and determine that 'nothing can happen' in the next few hundred milliseconds." Is this actually true? Isn't it recommended to never eat or drink in the car while driving, that being on the phone or conversing while driving lowers driving skill, etc?
