In an effort to prevent accidents from distractions caused by texting while driving, auto companies are now offering built- in audio systems that link themselves through the Bluetooth technology to the individuals mobile phone and automatically read texts as and when they are received. These companies are hopeful that their initiative will be appreciated by people who are increasingly voicing concerns over the rising number of auto-accidents reported in which the cause of the accident was the drivers lack of focus on the road while texting.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the assertion that the people will not appreciate the initiative taken by the auto companies?
A) The price of automobiles fitted with such audio-systems is expected to be higher than the price of automobiles not fitted with such systems
B) Consumers are generally apprehensive of any major alteration in the standard features offered in an automobile
C) Studies have shown that five seconds is the average time a drivers eyes are off the road while texting
D) In the past five years, most innovations in the auto-industry have received only a lukewarm response from industry experts
E) It is a commonly known fact that an individual driving a vehicle can lose focus by either a lapse in visual attention or an audio distraction
