How dangerous is it to stream music and drive?

The Current

About this episode

U.S. researchers looked at what happens to drivers on the days that major album releases drop,  from artists like Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift. And they found that traffic fatalities increased by nearly 15 percent. We talk to Dr Vishal Patel of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School about what the findings mean -- and what they can tell us about exactly what distracts us when we're driving.
