When Dr. Vishal Patel found himself scrolling through Spotify to find songs from a new Taylor Swift album in his car, he realized he had drifted out of his lane.
The researchers found that when popular artists released albums, there would also be an increase in general phone usage, and one reason may be because people are looking to stream the album on their phones.
So it’s not really the music but that people are on their fucking phones while driving.
A rare example of when I think talking to the computer is a good interface.
Also fuck cars, and distracted drivers need to go right to the pits.
Figures he listens to Taylor Swift.
Strange that he was trying to find her songs, the statistics show that most people killed in traffic deaths when her new albums start playing were swerving in to oncoming traffic to try to make it stop.
Sure those people are dead but! I did get to hear the new Bad Bunny album 10 seconds earlier so it’s worth it when you really think about it
Patel’s new study, published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open, found a 15% increase in traffic fatalities on the days major new albums are released, compared with the days immediately before and after.
