Chris found an interesting video from CNN that introduced the viewers to an app that shuts off texting and phone calls when a person is in a car. The app automatically turns on when the phone is moving faster than 15mph. There is a flaw in the app because even passengers cannot use their phone because the app cannot differentiate between who is driving and who is just a passenger.
I think that this app is a really good idea. There been many accidents caused by cell phone distraction, which has already created laws prohibiting the use of a cell phone while in a moving car. According to a study by the University of Utah found that the impairment a driver experiences using a cell phone equals that of a person driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent (above the legal limit in some states). Some people need this app to not be distracted by its presence. Would you put this app on your phone?
