Those ‘safe’ autopilot features are turning us into more distracted drivers, AAA warns
Some of the latest automotive features are driving us to distraction, according to a new AAA report.
In fact, people who regularly use advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance are almost twice as likely to engage in distracted driving — such as taking their eyes off of the road to text, talk to passengers and fiddle with the radio — compared to when they were not using these semi-autonomous systems.
