> I had read another article that they had proposed designing some sort of software that would synch your cellphone with your car when you were driving which would ultimately freeze your phone up, not allowing you to use it unless in the case of emergency while driving. Experts have stated that this software is years away from being developed and tested.

GIANT waste of money.

Not only would it not fly for “safety reasons”, IE you crash and the car is still running and you are pinned in the car off the road, fucking phone is useless for you if that were to happen.

Also, even if it was put in place, it would only work on “newer” cars… I doubt my 1969 camaro will “tell” my phone not to work.

ANNND. with everything electrical, it will be hacked in a matter of weeks i bet. so it would be more money wasted with patch after patch to play cat and mouse.
