Happy to be interviewed in #wired regarding the future of Infotainment displays. The issue is to provide a better and less distracting alternative to the smart phone. @UIowaEngr @DrivingSim

Congratulations to Dr. Christopher Rundes, a newly minted PhD of mine in ISE here at @UIowaEngr! His research used @drivingsim NADS and on-road studies. He wrote four papers and has one patent from his dissertation. He will join Gulfstream Aerospace as a Human Factors Engineer.

Congrats to two of my PhD students for winning the J Richard Simon scholarship. Professor Simon would have loved their research and would also be excited for their futures in human factors!

Teaching a course in Automated Vehicle Systems this semester @uiowa @UIowaEngr. First assignment part of my 'Haiku engineering' series—they wrote a Haiku about the 1938 Gibson and Crooks Field of Safe Travel theory of driving.

Congrats to Michelle Reyes, Cher Carney @DrivingSim and Cara Hamann of @UIIPRC for winning the Commissioners Award for Traffic Safety #gtsb. Well deserved!
Some data on @Apple Do Not Disturb While Driving. Much like having pcode as default signif reduced theft, DNDWD having a similar effect. 70% keeping it on their phones read.bi/2EUTqDm

Autonomous vehicle technology is exciting and has a lot of life-saving potential, but we're nowhere close to full autonomy yet. In the near-term, it's crucial that focus remains on pushing for safer *driver* behavior. bit.ly/2nzYd6s
After crash, injured motorcyclist accuses AV of 'negligent driving' wapo.st/2BrhGvk
He-said-she-said disputes better reconstructed from vehicle data that show traj of involved vehicles; this will help understand whether a human driver could/would have had the same action
My colleagues at the National Advanced Driving Simulator never cease to amaze me... thanks to all of you @DrivingSim !

Sec. @SecElaineChao knows. We need more car tech education. teapawt.net/NSCsafety/status/83634…
Thank you @SecElaineChao for calling for more education about #safety tech in cars. We have a great place to start: mycardoeswhat.org/
Spoke @ 43rd Annual Iowa Engineering Career Guidance Conference for High School students - great turnout! @UIowaEng #drivingsim
