abstract="Lacking the know-how to make multitasking experts of all drivers, the automotive industry is in a quandary as to how to meet consumer demand for greater in-vehicle electronic communications capability without creating too much distraction for safe vehicle operation. Automakers and suppliers are not signing on to the proposition that, because the driver is solely responsible for safe vehicle operation, they would be serving consumers' best interests by cramming as many electronic functions as possible into their new models. This article examines the use of voice recognition technology as a way of coping with driver distraction. It identifies noise filtering and accent recognition as the two greatest technological challenges associated with this technology. The article discusses that even though automobile manufacturers are offering different systems to make driving safer and are examining human factors issues, that drivers must ultimately understand that they are also responsible for the safe use of their vehicles.
