Distracted driving study
An artificial intelligence study by Netradyne analyzed the distracted driving habits of 1,248 drivers. These participants were 18 years or older, had a license, and drove a car on a regular basis.

Of all the participants in the study, 82% expressed concern that distracted driving was becoming more common, and over half of the participants admitted they could be a better driver. Out of these drivers, 20% has a point on their licenses or received a fine related to distracted driving.
