the chances a pedestrian or cyclist will die if hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s the challenge of distracted driving and the development of increasingly sophisticated car infotainment systems that keep motorists' attention focused on screens instead of their surroundings, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“About 80% of people driving are … actively using technology,” Reynolds said. “We also know that
