Fully autonomous vehicles that will safely subtract humans, leaving us free to focus on our screens, remain a long way out. The laws that prohibit drivers from touching smartphones are patchy and difficult to enforce. In the meantime, safety regulators, insurance companies and technologists have turned to an incremental fix for distraction: monitoring the driver, not the vehicle. The hope is that awareness may just succeed where policies and penalties haven’t.
Zendrive has its monitoring technology on 60 million phones, roughly one of every four U.S. drivers. TrueMotion is tracking distraction and other driving metrics for eight of the top 20 U.S. auto insurers, and an additional 30,000 drivers voluntarily downloaded the TrueMotion system in attempt to self-regulate tendencies to talk and text at the wheel.
Cambridge Mobile Telematics, monitors distracted driving for 35 insurers, including State Farm.
