     @arstechnica It's actually more about attention than "eyes", in my experience.
     One time, I drove for miles at highway speed, on a very familiar route, on a 15min voice call that required attention.
     At the end, I could not recall anything about my driving experience for the past 15min, which was VERY scary and I decided not to ever do that again, even "hands free".
