Tweeting info on safety technologies, distraction, young drivers, and automation--it's all about preventing crashes...

[Daniel V McGehee @DanCrashMan]

#NBCNnews did a piece on distracted driving and smart phone touch screens @DrivingSim @iowaengineering https://t.co/T4v1h3sbee. Time for a formal study comparing equivalent actions on smart phones vs infotainment systems in cars...

[Daniel V McGehee @DanCrashMan]

Happy to be interviewed in #wired regarding the future of Infotainment displays. The issue is to provide a better and less distracting alternative to the smart phone. @UIowaEngr @DrivingSim

Congratulations to Dr. Christopher Rundes, a newly minted PhD of mine in ISE here at @UIowaEngr! His research used @drivingsim NADS and on-road studies. He wrote four papers and has one patent from his dissertation. He will join Gulfstream Aerospace as a Human Factors Engineer.

Congrats to two of my PhD students for winning the J Richard Simon scholarship. Professor Simon would have loved their research and would also be excited for their futures in human factors!

Thanks to @MIT_AgeLab for hosting Zach Noonan from @UIowaEngr and @DrivingSim. His lecture on 'A game theoretic approach to behavior planning in vehicle automation' was well received. Great audience and questions!

Teaching a course in Automated Vehicle Systems this semester @uiowa @UIowaEngr. First assignment part of my 'Haiku engineering' series—they wrote a Haiku about the 1938 Gibson and Crooks Field of Safe Travel theory of driving.

Congrats to Michelle Reyes, Cher Carney @DrivingSim and Cara Hamann of @UIIPRC for winning the Commissioners Award for Traffic Safety #gtsb. Well deserved!

Some data on @Apple Do Not Disturb While Driving. Much like having pcode as default signif reduced theft, DNDWD having a similar effect. 70% keeping it on their phones https://t.co/Zc2r4xpK5I

Will truckers be automated? (from the comments) - The many details of driving and multiple roles of drivers challenge the concept of fully autonomous technology https://t.co/kXpnIVVE8H

[GHSA @GHSAHQ]

Autonomous vehicle technology is exciting and has a lot of life-saving potential, but we're nowhere close to full autonomy yet. In the near-term, it's crucial that focus remains on pushing for safer *driver* behavior. https://t.co/ZdjUK0e9Q7

After crash, injured motorcyclist accuses AV of 'negligent driving' https://t.co/MJAUWTcpiq
He-said-she-said disputes better reconstructed from vehicle data that show traj of involved vehicles; this will help understand whether a human driver could/would have had the same action

@DrivingSim @simulationhawk @MyCarDoesWhat you guys are sooo original!

[Daniel V McGehee @DanCrashMan]

My colleagues at the National Advanced Driving Simulator never cease to amaze me... thanks to all of you @DrivingSim !
