The driving environment requires the successful performance of a highly complex series of interconnected tasks, including navigating, speed regulation, observing posted signs and signals, and responding to unpredictable events in a safe and timely manner.

For almost a century, manufacturers have had the burden to provide products that are safe for the intended uses AND foreseeable misuses of their products.

Property owners must maintain safe premises for patrons and invitees, even foreseeable trespassers.

Pedestrians typically are able to navigate environments under a variety of conditions (e.g walking surface, illumination, obstructions) but may not detect inconspicuous and hazardous conditions.

In order for people to recognize and avoid dangerous conditions, they must be able to see the hazard.

Almost 4,000,000 U.S. workers are injured annually, and a U.S. worker dies as a result of a workplace injury every 2 hours.

Manufacturers must provide effective guards to separate operators, in time or distance, from a hazard.

It is commonly understood that using a cell phone while driving is dangerous. However very few people understand the cognitive processing issues that make the attempted multitasking so dangerous.
