blind spot
As a social society, we love to stay in touch with each other regularly, social creatures who wish to know about one another. Still, there are times when that very socialization becomes dangerous and can cause the end of a life, either our own or, more tragically, someone else’s. Distracted driving has become a massive issue in the United States, significantly worsened by our tendency to stare at our phone screens and not the road. With over 500,000 accidents and over 3,000 deaths a year on average being attributed to distracted driving, we create a blind spot in the very place we should always be looking, which is forward. So where do we draw the line for safety? blind spot is a call for action, a push to become an industry standard just as the seat belt did over 30 years ago. It aims to improve vehicle safety systems by utilizing the NFC chip built into modern phones, which newer cars can already interact with, to allow phones to act as the car key. It pushes driver safety to catch up to our evolving technological world by reducing unnecessary phone usage while driving. After all, one’s freedom shouldn’t risk someone else’s life.
