Twice.com reports about Ford Study which says that it’s Sync Radio reduces driver distraction compared to using MP3 and other devices while driving.
The study included 25 regular Sync users who were tested using a driving simulator. The participants were asked to dial a number on their cellphones and retrieve a name from their cellphones’ phonebooks and other tasks. Ford then measured any deviation in their lane position, speed changes plus eyes-off-the-road time.
Ford said its voice interface reduced distraction. Reading a text message on a handheld phone typically required 11 seconds of eyes off the road compared to 2 seconds with the Sync, which “reads aloud” text messages from a cellphone. Drivers also wandered over their lane lines in more than 30 percent of the trials when trying to search for song and artist information or other tasks compared to zero percent using the Sync, Ford said.
