Speed camera alerts on navigation apps may be training drivers to speed

Navigation apps such as Waze, Google Maps and Apple Maps offer drivers many useful functions, but one of them is sometimes controversial: advance notice of police or speed cameras ahead. In new research, my colleagues and I ran experiments to see how these alerts affect driver behaviour in the real world. We found drivers slow down when they get a warning, which came as no surprise.

"I don't know, I haven't talked to anybody about that, we'll probably discuss on the plane," Shanahan said. That isn't a vote of confidence. It isn't giving Pineiro a pass either, but it leaves the door wide open. Make no mistake about it, Shanahan is not afraid to release a kicker and go get a new one.…
