I wonder if there is not some technological solution that can be built into smartphones to prevent this from happening. I realize that they are doing double duty as GPS & music, but imagine if your phone could detect that you are in the driver's seat and the car is moving and disable any application but the GPS. I know this would be hard, but it doesn't seem like it would be "self-driving car" hard and would have immediate societal benefit.

Apple's CarPlay heavily restricts what you can do while moving - you can only browse through lists that are short, and you can't type anything. These functions are replaced with talking to Siri, which it is assumed you can do with your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
