First of all thank you for the great work you and the NTSB does. You guys do amazing, important work that I don’t think gets recognized enough. On to the question(s):
-I imagine a lot has changed with human factors since you started in 2001. What has changed the most in what’s causing crashes and making them more or less survivable in the last 17 years? What hasn’t changed / still needs to be done that needed to be done in 2001? Medical fitness?
-Distracted driving due to cell phones and other tech is obviously an epidemic that has come about during your career - do you see this getting better soon?
-Automation is an upcoming technology in motor vehicles. Although it’s been around for decades in aviation it still requires frequent crew interaction and correction in order to maintain safety. What kind of growing pains / solutions do you anticipate with the rise of automation on highways?
