Research to testsat nav safety

Research to see if sat navs can cause car crashes is to be carried out by university academics.

The study will include drivers carrying out computer-based tasks that mimic the demands imposed by a typical in-car navigation system. One of the researchers, Dr Pragya Agarwal of Lancaster University, said: “We hope that this research will contribute to the development of guidelines for the design of more effective, safe and user-friendly in-car navigation systems.”
