    Why no Slashdot articles about the GP32 and all the development efforts on that system?

    Well, here would be the place to check for such real numbers, but I'm sure the study is either not started or still ongoing. I think we all feel safer knowing that the 15-person bus rollover study is completed though.

    I remember listening to a report on NPR by someone from the Illinois equivalent of the NTSB and he had some good reasons for why cell phones are more distracting than stereos or even in-car conversation: Cellphones keep the driver distracted by a non-traffic sensitive other. Most drivers can work the radio without looking at it. Most passengers in the car can see when things are getting hairy traffic-wise and shut the hell up. Random on the cellphone doesn't know where the hell you are and can't tell you about the semi making a wide right.
