Distracted driving contest reveals the obvious....

Nuance, makers of speech recognition technology for mobile phones held a contest in Florida to see just how dangerous a distracted, SMS texting driver was, compared to a driver using Nuance’s speech recognition technology.
Turns out, drivers tasked with sending a short SMS text message, looking up a local business, and playing an MP3 file - tasks typically associated with “driving while mobile” - repeatedly crashed. Those drivers using Nuance software-equipped mobile phones were able to carry out the tasks with nary a crash.
