Description
I have created a video that represents a solution I have that will solve the problem of distracted driving in teens: an app, named Street Sight. The app, as described in the video, will limit most notifications and sounds on the device, allowing the driver to say focused. The app itself can sense motion, and once activated by the driver (before driving), the app will sense motion and proceed to lock down the phone, turning off notifications and sounds, and will remain as locked until the app senses the driver has come to a complete stop. Once the motion (or lack thereof, rather) is sensed, the device will be unlocked and accessible to the device wielder. The app allows the driver to maintain their full attention on the road, and limit distractions that could otherwise cause injuries, fatal accidents, or death. Safe and non-distracted driving is incredibly important, especially amongst new and inexperienced drivers, because safer roads means safer lives. With less distracted driving, there will be less deaths or vehicle-related injuries because of the 100% focus on the road.
