We will explore these technologies, their capabilities, and their potential to mitigate distracted driving. Panelists will discuss the next steps in research and help the audience gain a better understanding of these technologies and how they work, thereby accelerating the acceptance and adoption these technologies by the public to reduce the number of distracted driving crashes on our roads.

The Technology Showcase promises to be a game-changer in the fight against distracted driving. Featuring cutting-edge solutions and innovative technologies from industry leaders, this showcase will bring to life the very best in safety innovation. From in-car monitoring, mobile apps, to real-time enforcement, this showcase will feature a diverse range of solutions designed to keep drivers focused on the road ahead.
