A Google and Amazon-backed startup believes its Jeopardy trivia app is safe for drivers to play while behind the wheel, but experts on distracted driving aren't convinced.
Drivetime, which was founded last year and based in San Francisco, wants to make driving entertaining through safe games. It's designed hands-free games so drivers can answer questions while keeping their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Drivetime offers a free daily game for users, and charges a fee for additional games, including Jeopardy.
Verwey, a professor at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, whose 1999 study on fighting drowsiness in nighttime driving has been cited by Drivetime. Paul Atchley, a University of South Florida professor who led a study on driver alertness that Drivetime cites, cautioned against any conclusions on Drivetime being drawn before testing it. Atchley's study focused on monotonous, flat rural highways with minimal traffic, not congested urban commutes.
