Can we safely cross the street and play with the phone?

Have you ever tried to play with your cell phone while you were walking?

Have you ever tried to play with your cellphone while you're up the stairs?

Have you ever tried to cross the road and play with your cell phone?

Have you ever tried to cross the road to play with your cell phone, and still don't look up to see the road and car?

Yes, smart you must know what I want to say to you. That is:

It's dangerous.

Don't believe me? You see:

Pretty shocking, huh? Fortunately, this is just a picture of a Swiss public service advertisement, not real ...

The real is often more frightening:

It is reported that last week, a tragic traffic accident occurred in Tanzhou town, Zhongshan, Guangdong province: A young woman crossing the road while using her cell phone. Presumably because of the attention on the phone, ignoring the road conditions, she accidentally crashed into a pickup truck, was ejected two meters away, and then the oncoming of a large mud head car rolling past, unfortunately, died on the spot.

And this unfortunate woman was at the scene of the accident ...

Although the accident scene is very tragic, but many people may still think: smart I am not so stupid, even if I really on the road to play mobile phones, will certainly pay attention to the various conditions.

But you made it? When people focus on something, the reaction to other things or situations is really going to be stupid.

The media has interviewed a veteran taxi master. The teacher said that they are now most afraid of those who cross the road when looking down the phone. Once he stopped in front of the zebra crossing to wait for pedestrians to pass, a smiling, intently staring at the mobile phone to see the young woman, completely do not look at the road, walking on the "Bang!" "A sound, bumped into his car, then she reacted, but also shouted at no fault taxi master ...

"People often say that people who walk on a cell phone are easily hit by a car, and I was confident that my technology would be able to avoid it. The teacher was very helpless to say.

(This figure is not the driver mentioned in the article)

Can you imagine the face of the teacher who was so depressed that he was going to cry? Anyway, I believe it. For a small number of people with "just stare at the phone can let the body automatically to the direction of the vehicle" property, the drivers are afraid to incarnate the protagonist in the zombie drama, to escape the posture to drive.

Even in academic statistics, There is a real basis for that. A US study has pointed out that the average speed slows down by 16% to 33% when you are walking on a mobile phone, and that the brain reduces the information that it receives from the surrounding environment, making the chance of accidents several times higher than normal.

see here, the pedestrians are about to misconstruction: is the driver OK? See how many traffic accidents in the news are related to the driver's mobile phone when driving!

Yes, Drivers have also been distracted by the use of mobile phones, causing all sorts of dangerous problems.

A family called Braun Research firm, interviewed by 2,067 Americans, found that 70% of respondents used smartphones while driving. Of these, 61% were texting while driving, 31% had emailed, and 28% had browsed the web. Even 17% said they had taken selfies or photographed pictures while driving.

God horse?! Self -?

this data ... Think very, very afraid.

Domestic netizens also use a very simple theory to calculate: When driving a glance at the mobile phone text message and generally see, at least 2 seconds. Let's say your car travels 40 kilometers an hour in the city, 2 seconds to 22 meters, which is enough for any traffic accident.

It seems that there is danger everywhere.

At this time your inner reaction will be: "The truth I know ah!" But sometimes I get used to it! Look at the end of the novel, and don't want to put down the cell phone, girlfriend if the slow back must be what "you ' re just not the" into me "what ... But the operation of the mobile phone must use the hand point, to look down ... If all of the app can be used as a headset to make phone calls without staring, you can always observe the surrounding road, it may be safe! ”

Hey? Seems to be on the point? Specific analysis, actually cross the road to play mobile phone, or when driving a mobile phone, all because to use the hands and eyes with the operation, so that you can inevitably be distracted. Then, as with the headset phone call, only by voice operation, hands and eyes are no longer necessary, seems to be the best way to respond.

So what can we do?

If you're a smartphone user, you'll probably expect an era in which all apps can be spoken directly, and you won't be able to resist this convenient, direct, and secure experience.

If you're an app developer, you might be looking to integrate this voice-operated functionality into the apps you've developed as soon as possible, allowing your users to begin to familiarize themselves with this new and enjoyable interaction, even at hand, in this age of human-computer interaction.

and all of this, perhaps the Smart Voice cloud platform can help you .

Take the cloud as an example, as an intelligent voice cloud platform, using the domestic intelligent voice giant Iflytek core voice technology to build, the cloud is committed to mobile Internet applications (apps) to provide all the ability to help users complete voice interaction, including speech recognition, speech synthesis, semantic understanding, voice recognition and so on.

Sunny afternoon, that side with mobile phone side across the road you, even if eager to edit a letter sent to the customer's mail, but also saw the mouth mumbling, but still can rise up chest, insight Happo.

From now on, say goodbye to the accident.
