QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Oct 26 2017, 11:44 AM) My phone can detect when it's being carried so it doesn't switch off, how in god's name can you not design in a feature that detects when a phone is in a vehicle? Because there is nothing wrong with using a phone in a vehicle.

Anything that detracts the attention of the driver needs addressing . I don't even like my wife talking while I am at the wheel , ( or at any other time for that matter ) , so someone prattling into a plastic fag packet should be discouraged .

That might be the case, but, if one easily distracted, then one could also question the wisdom in providing that person a licence to drive. We might also consider whether we should have radios and taxi drivers being able to take calls while on the move.

I know there is a law that covers using or manipulating a device while driving, but there is nothing wrong with passengers using a phone; even the driver can if hands free and is not distracted.

Indeed. However, in the real world we have drivers quite merrily driving around with device in hand, surfing their Spotify account, looking at their profiles, using them as handheld nav device's, answering text messages and all manner of distractions. If, it can't be stopped by education it must be stopped using technology. If some people are inconvenienced it's a lot less convenient having your family wiped out.

The problem will soon be solved by technology: ‘driverless’ cars.

Wrong, in fact new guidelines have been issued by the government that places the onus on autonomous vehicle drivers to ensure that the responsibility for all safety aspects are theirs. Fully autonomous vehicles on British roads, all British roads are a very long way off. And a lot of the people doing this will not be driving even partially autonomous vehicles any time soon.

We’ll see; if this discussion survives in an archive somewhere to be reflected upon; meanwhile, voice recognition and hands free kits are now widely available.
