It might be time for a regulatory mandate here. Phones have to go offline if they're running more than 15MPH unless docked or handsfree.
I can't believe i'm calling for regulation, but someone will. Question is do we get ahead of it now or before a new Congress does?
I also feel like pointing out this article says there were 3,000 deaths from phone use. Well, there were 40,000 from firearms in the US https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/gun-deaths.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/gun-deaths.html. PRIORITIES!

- mindslight 7y agoSorry, some of us still consider a phone to be a personal computer. Legislating that phone software mandatorily implement centralized rules, no matter how sensible the specific rules would be, is the path to further locking down these devices and general societal computational disenfranchisement.
