I suspect they aren't contributing much more than stereos did back in the day. Plenty of folks used to look down at their stereos and fiddle with knobs and buttons while driving instead of paying attention to the road. The new infotainment centers may have caused an uptick, but I suspect it was relatively small, especially compared to cell phones.

Phones, absolutely, huge distraction.
