Phones and all the damn touchscreens in today’s cars in place of knobs and switches promote distracted driving. Not really enforced much and could be a good revenue source while making our roads safer.
I quit riding 10 years ago after a close call with a woman texting with hip hop blaring so loudly that she could not hear my horn as she squeezed me.
I see both DIU and distracted driving as serious issues with potentially great safety costs.

someone nearby has one in her G wagon.
Around here they have a camera connected to the internets with face detection software, GPS tracking, a remote kill switch and scheduled operation. Meaning your car only works during the hours specified by the court order.
