Work Step by Step

Yes, a GPS can reduce a driver's stress when driving to a new destination by providing clear and timely directions, reducing the likelihood of getting lost and the associated anxiety. Additionally, the automatic rerouting feature helps alleviate stress by quickly adapting to unexpected changes or mistakes made by the driver. However, a GPS can contribute to stress in some ways, such as if it provides confusing or incorrect directions, leading to frustration and uncertainty. Additionally, over-reliance on GPS navigation can make drivers less attentive to their surroundings and less capable of navigating without assistance, which could increase stress in certain situations, such as when encountering road closures or signal loss.
