Evaluation of smartphone interactions on drivers’ brain function and vehicle control in an immersive simulated environment

Abstract Smartphones and other modern technologies have introduced multiple new forms of distraction that color the modern driving experience. While many smartphone functions aim to improve driving by providing the driver with real-time navigation and traffic updates, others, such as texting, are no...
