About Project
Relationship between car accident trends and smartphone adoption in the United States were explored with focus on the period surrounding the introduction of smartphones in 2011. Project employs statistical methods, visualizations, and hypothesis testing to evaluate the impact of smartphone adoption on accident rates.
"Seasonal factors significantly affect accident rates, particularly in Fall and Winter, while it remains inconclusive whether smartphones alone have substantially impacted road safety. The study underscores the complex web of variables, including weather and societal factors, and emphasizes the need for ongoing research to understand the evolving influence of smartphone technology on road safety"
