Government wants to block much cell phone, etc. use in cars
http://j.mp/13qqY5h (Wired)
"Nathaniel Beuse, associate administrator for vehicle safety research
at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, says government
regulation coupled with standards set by automakers and the
electronics industry could reduce fatalities. He says we need "a
technological solution, some sort of innovation" in which the device
or the car would recognize when the driver is using a mobile device
and deactivate it. "This would be the ultimate solution," he says."
