福克斯新闻 车载信息娱乐功能妨碍驾驶安全

Automakers are cramming¹ "infotainment technology" into new cars and drivers are now taking their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel for dangerously long periods of time, so says University of Utah professor David Strayer.

He's been examining the impact of infotainment systems on safety since 2013. Strayer says the "explosion of technology" has made things worse. Infotainment options now allow drivers to use social media, email and text while behind the wheel. And it's becoming more complicated to use. Some vehicles now have as many as 50 multi-functional buttons on the steering² wheel and dashboard.

如今，汽车制造公司纷纷将各种“信息娱乐技术”塞进新车，导致驾驶员视线长期脱离道路，双手长期脱离方向盘，这些都是相当危险的行为，犹他州立大学教授David Strayer如是说。

自2013年以来，教授就一直在研究信息娱乐系统对驾驶安全的影响。他还说，“科技爆炸”对驾驶安全问题如同火上浇油。如今的信息娱乐使驾驶员能够在开车时使用社交媒体、邮件和短信等功能，而且，可用的功能甚至越来越多。某些车的方向盘和仪表盘上已经有多达50个多功能按钮。
