So they say the sense of users are using the phone functions while driving.. that doesn’t mean people are sitting there staring at their phone while driving though. I participate in teams calls while driving to work, from work, and between sites when doing projects at other sites all the time. Does that count as distracted from being on a phone call playing across my car infotainment system? If so how is that different from listening to music, does playing music via pandora or spotify on my infotainment with phone plugged in count as distracted? If so how is that different from standard fm/am radio? Are we expecting people to sit in silence while driving? They’re still just going to zone out from boredom at that point
It is VASTLY different: you participate in conversation. It's interactive, creates cognitive load (even more than casual talk, because it's a work call) and takes a part of your attention.
Yup, they've done studies on this. Having a conversation while driving and having to respond to those two things at once is a strain on yo brain.
