STUDIU: Decesele cauzate de accidentele rutiere cresc cu 15% în SUA atunci când sunt lansate albumele unor artiști de renume

A recent study in the US found a 15% increase in traffic fatalities on days when major music albums were released, suggesting potential distractions from smartphone use. Researchers analyzed over 233,000 traffic deaths from 2017 to 2022, focusing on the release dates of ten significant albums. They noted a rise in streaming activity and traffic deaths during these periods, but did not establish a direct causal link. The study highlights how searching for new music may divert drivers' attention, although it does not confirm that listening to music itself is dangerous.
