Study finds Pokémon Go cost millions in car damage, injuries

The study analyzed 12,000 police incident reports in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It concluded that resulting car damage, injuries, and fatalities incurred county-wide costs of $5.2 million. Nationwide, the study estimated costs to range between $2 billion to $7.3 billion. The great thing about the mobile game Pokémon Go is that it gets people on their feet, walking around, helping small businesses, and being entertained during a pandemic. The bad thing about the game is that it was found to result in increased traffic collisions as people attempted to play while driving. According to a paper published by Mara Faccio and John J. McConnell from Purdue University — 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.
