The survey that they conducted was basically done so as to assess and check "the experience and expectations of car owners regarding speed-enabled functions in cars". And this study took around a thousand drivers as respondents. These drivers were from various continents like European country Germany, North American nation United States, and Asian country Japan. The statistics showed that these driver-respondents were very much relying on information and communication devices that could be found and installed in vehicles. From voice-activated dialing and voice destination entry for navigation systems to speech-based control of entertainment systems, embedded speech applications deliver the hands-free, eyes-free interface that today's electronically connected drivers need to balance on-road safety and personal convenience." Indeed, devices for vehicles should be designed so as to assist drivers more rather than distract them. After all, the main responsibility of a driver is to reach his or her destination and keep their eyes on the road.
