Idiot Driving Thwarts Technology
from the doh!-I-knew-it.... dept
Forbes says it best in this piece: "Idiots, in fact, account for at least half of all traffic deaths—drunken idiots alone for about 40%. Falling asleep at the wheel, jabbering on one of the nation's 50 million cell phones, going the wrong way on a one-way street, not wearing a seat belt and/or just being a teenager explain lots of traffic fatalities, too—and there may never be a computerized gizmo to thwart these problems. "
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
