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，南韓汽車公司起亞展開了一項研究，觀察人們聆聽的音樂如何影響他們的開車模式。在一輛起亞電動車中，不曾有駕駛電動車經驗的駕駛人駛經塞車長達三十公里的路線、蜿蜒的鄉村小路，以及一條又長又直的路。所有駕駛人都以同樣的音量收聽同一個播放清單，並連接了記錄他們測量數據的穿戴式裝置。該播放清單包含貝多芬、愛黛兒、肯伊．威斯特、威肯以及許多歌手。
