Complex car controls may confuse drivers
A study has shown that complex controls and complicated gadgets may be confusing drivers and can put them in a fatal situation during an emergency.
Cars are increasingly adopting newer technologies which enable drivers to control lot of new gadgets and also inroduce new ways of controlling cars like transmission's shifter and ignition switch. But, this technology can make critical functions, such as shifting into neutral or reverse or shutting off the ignition in an emergency, confusing for drivers. And confused drivers means less safety on roads.
Recently, the problems plaguing Toyota's cars have focussed attention to these newer and complex technologies which are phasing old older & familiar controls with complex alternative control schemes.
