Has modern technology made our roadways safer?
A majority of Americans surveyed on the use of technology by automobile drivers feel technological innovations have failed to make people safer drivers. In a survey conducted by MetLife Auto & Home, 85 percent believe cars are safer today, but just 29 percent think technology innovations have translated into making people safer drivers, and 63 percent of those surveyed believe drivers rely too heavily on technology features to operate their vehicles.
The survey suggests drivers are not making wise decisions when it comes to evaluating the importance of different technology features, with many favoring increased convenience over driver and passenger safety.
