Comment on Emergency Braking Will Save Lives. Automakers Want to Charge Extra for It

I can’t divide my attention since I can only focus on one thing at a time. I also have time blindness so if I were to focus on something like the radio I would get distracted. (Which is probably what happens to a lot of people)

How fascinating. I have ADHD and I find the music helps me stay awake and focused. If I’m in a silent car I just want to take a nap lol.

Autism means that I don’t have a natural filter to remove irrelevant sensory input. I can tune things out but it takes mental effort.
I still listen to the radio some but I’m always careful not to let it interfere with my focus on driving. It is mostly for the red lights that take forever.

You might like a motorcycle. Those require 110% focus on the act of riding. It really helped with my inability to focus on one thing at a time.
Now obviously super dangerous and no matter how careful you are you can still die from someone else not paying attention but I do really enjoy motorcycles. I just don’t trust other drivers. So I stick to the occasional dirt biking now.
