Recently, South Korean car company Kia carried out a study on how the music that people listen to in cars affects their driving patterns. In a Kia electric car, drivers with no previous experience with electric vehicles drove a 30-kilometer route with traffic jams, winding country roads, and a long, straight road. All of the drivers were listening to fixed playlists at the same volume and were hooked up to wearable devices that recorded their measurements. The playlist included Beethoven, Adele, Kanye West, The Weeknd, and more.

 

最近,南韩汽车公司起亚展开了一项研究,观察人们聆听的音乐如何影响他们的开车模式。在一辆起亚电动车中,不曾有驾驶电动车经验的驾驶人驶经塞车长达三十公里的路线、蜿蜒的乡村小路,以及一条又长又直的路。所有驾驶人都以同样的音量收听同一个播放清单,并连接了记录他们测量数据的穿戴式装置。该播放清单包含贝多芬、爱黛儿、肯伊.威斯特、威肯以及许多歌手。
