In a modern world full of distractions, drivers tend to lose concentration on the road quickly. Especially by distractions as conspicuous as our own cell phone. 

Who hasn't checked their cell phone at a red light? Some even do it while driving, which is extremely dangerous, since according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic SafetyIn the case of a driver who is not using a mobile device, a driver remains distracted for 27 seconds after the use of a mobile device, putting his or her life at risk, as well as the lives of passengers, pedestrians and other drivers on the road. 

Especially for drivers of heavy vehicles, as they are 23 times more likely to crash when texting, according to the Virginia Tech Transportation Instituteas well as being 5.9 times more likely to crash when dialing a cell phone.

But not only does the phone count as a dangerous distraction, but using the radio, eating, drinking, smoking or looking at navigation applications while driving are habits that put the driver's life and everyone else's at risk. 

For this reason, Mobileye is the solution to the concerns of these characteristics for managers or heads of vehicle fleets.
