ABSTRACT
New technologies have made video calling in vehicles possible. Results from a driving simulator experiment indicate that video calling reduces visual attention on the road. While in some situations drivers would refrain from engaging in this activity, our results should serve as a warning to interface designers, lawmakers, transportation officials, and drivers that video calling presents a real distraction from driving.

Thank you, I did not see that: in-car speech based information systems for older adults
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsOlder adult drivers have more difficulty than the general driving public in attending to driving tasks especially in complex traffic situations. This study examines whether a speech based in-car information system can positively influence driver ...
Don't blame me I am only the driver: impact of blame attribution on attitudes and attention to driving task
CHI EA '04: CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsKey concerns of automobile interface designers are driving performance and safety. As cars include voices for telematics, command and control, warning messages, etc., these voices become an opportunity to affect drivers and their performance. In this ...
