The family car, America's new home-office
While many Americans have been working from the cars for a great deal of time, this is new for many workers with the onset of Covid-19 and the ever-changing work environment.
Those that have been working from vehicles for some time include, police officers with their center console-mounted computers, parking enforcement officers who drive from place to place then use handheld computers to enter the information needed, and other professionals who also use the car or another vehicle as their ‘office’ such as construction workers who go from place to place throughout the day. The question is, how do we help these workers do so in an ergonomic way to help prevent discomfort or injury?
