There's also an interesting secondary observation. "Drivers who missed every instance of the bear spent more time looking at various parts of the car's dashboard than any other group." I hypothesize that, while some of that was surely trying to navigate a radio or air-conditioning setup they were unfamiliar with, much was likely spent monitoring the speed of the vehicle. An simple HUD illumination reflection on the wind shield for the speed might help as a safety measure. Or possibly changing laws and enforcement so that police were focused on non-revenue generating actives and mostly about curbing any behavior that harms the safety of a steady and orderly traffic flow.
