. The bad thing about the game is that it was found to result in increased traffic collisions as people attempted to play while driving.— titled "Death by Pokémon Go: The Economic and Human Cost of Using Apps While Driving" — there was a "disproportionate increase" in collisions near PokéStops in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, which is where the study was conducted.
"For our purposes, the virtue of this app is that the stockpile of a user's 'weapons' used to play the game can be replenished in the vicinity of specific well-identified 'PokéStops,' many of which are located near public thoroughfares."The Washington Post/Getty Images "Specifically, a difference-in-differences analysis indicates that 134 incremental crashes that occurred at locations in the proximity of PokéStops over the 148 days following the introduction of the game can be attributed to the introduction of Pokémon Go," the study went on.
Based on those findings, Faccio and McConnell concluded that users playing Pokémon Go near the PokéStops and getting into collisions incurred county-wide costs of at least $5.2 million, with the "great majority" of that total accounting for lives lost. Nationwide, the two estimated the cost to range from between $2 billion to $7.3 billion.
Seriously? Still playing that? 🙄
