Research indicates that using a cell phone to talk or text while maneuvering a vehicle impairs driving performance. However, few published studies directly compare the distracting effects of texting using a hands-free (i.e., speech-based interface) versus handheld cell phone, which is an important issue for legislation, automotive interface design and driving safety training. This study compared the effect of speech-based versus handheld texting on simulated driving performance by asking participants to perform a car following task while controlling the duration of a secondary texting task. Results showed that both speech-based and handheld texting impaired driving performance relative to the drive-only condition by causing more variation in speed and lane position. Handheld texting also increased the brake response time and increased variation in headway distance. Texting using a speech-based cell phone was less detrimental to driving performance than handheld texting. Nevertheless, the speech-based texting task still significantly impaired driving compared to the drive-only condition. These results suggest that speech-based interaction disrupts driving, but reduces the levels of performance interference compared to handheld devices. In addition, the difference in the distraction effect caused by speech-based and handheld texting is not simply due to the difference in task duration.
