  "textContent": "Systems and methods of distracted driving reduction are provided which respond to vehicle display-related driver distraction by adjusting the viewing angle of the vehicle display so that the driver's visual perception of the vehicle display is reduced. In other words, the driver may no longer be able to view the vehicle display with acceptable visual performance. Accordingly, examples can reduce driver distraction, thus increasing roadway safety. In certain examples, the adjusted viewing angle may allow non-driver occupants of the vehicle to view the vehicle display with acceptable visual performance. In various examples, the vehicle display may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and adjusting the viewing angle of the LCD screen may comprise utilizing an electrically controllable LCD diffuser to narrow the viewing angle of the LCD screen.",
