Abstract
Distraction while driving can be attributed as an important cause for accidents and the use of smartphones while driving is identified as the major reasons for distracting the driver. In order to reduce distractions due to the usage of mobile phones in automobiles, latest technologies are available to operate the mobile phones through the dashboard HUD’s and steering wheel housed controls. Android Auto is one such technology developed at Google that allows the android phones with android version 5 and above to be interfaced and controlled by the Car dashboard controls. Mirror link is another standard available to interface smart phones to a car’s infotainment system. The driver and passengers can interact and use them for assistance while driving by using the steering wheel controls and the dashboard buttons which is part of the automotive infotainment system. However, these technologies are available only in some of the latest high-end premium cars released after 2015. There are many Pluggable Hands-free devices available, that enable the users to control the mobile phones in the car. These devices are mountable on cars’ components such as steering wheel and are connected to the phone using Bluetooth protocol. They provide key-based input interfaces using which the user can control specific features of the mobile phone.
