Our lives may be complicated, but safe driving is simple.
We all know distraction behind the wheel is a safety hazard. We see it every day. On a typical day, more than 700 people are injured in distracted driving crashes. During
Distracted Driving Awareness Month this April, we aim to make our roadways and people safer by increasing awareness of the dangers of distracted driving. Because the truth is, there s plenty more we can do to stay focused on the drive.
Cell phone use while driving is the primary culprit for distraction, and for good reason. Phones have become an extension of our being – we crave constant stimulation from every notification. Even when talking hands-free, drivers can miss seeing up to half of what s around them because they are engaged in a cell phone conversation.

Amazon is using AI-powered cameras to monitor its drivers, claiming the new tech will make them safer.
AI-powered cameras could help but only if Amazon prioritizes safety over productivity, an expert told Insider.
Amazon recently installed AI-powered surveillance cameras in its delivery trucks that monitor drivers behavior in what the company says is an effort to reduce risky driving behaviors and collisions.
Whether the cameras ultimately accomplish that goal may depend on how much productivity Amazon is willing to sacrifice in order to keep drivers safe, according to a transportation expert who studies AI-powered safety systems.

NVIDIA Hyperion 8 is a near-turnkey platform for autonomous cars
Chris Davies - Apr 12, 2021, 12:00pm CDT
NVIDIA has given its “AI supercomputer on wheels” an upgrade, with the latest DRIVE Hyperion 8 getting as close to a turnkey self-driving car system as we’ve seen to date. It’s based on two of the DRIVE Orin SoCs – with a combined 508 TOPS of performance – along with a surfeit of sensors and AV software.
Announced last year at GTC 2020, DRIVE Orin has until today been NVIDIA’s latest generation of chipset developed specifically for self-driving vehicles. Although the new DRIVE Atlan bests it on performance – it’s capable of 1,000 TOPS – that won’t even begin sampling until 2023. Orin SoCs, in contrast, should be available later this year.
