Twitter is not political or religious...

Forgive me. I thought the conversation was automatically going to vere to a prominent Twitter user who sounds like a teenage girl in his tweets.
False alarm.

So much hand wringing about cell phone use while driving and still nothing serious is being done about it. I imagine it would be rather simple to produce phones that'll only access features like maps while in motion above walking speed and do nothing else if they're moving at a faster pace. Presto...problem solved!
Will this ever come to be? Probably not. There's a huge vested interest on the part of service providers, social media platforms, search engines, developers, advertisers, and the phone manufacturers themselves to have people engaged with their phones as much as possible. There are millions in lobbying funds being spread around to lawmakers to make sure that nothing comes between people and those beloved mobile devices. As we've all witnessed, laws regarding cell phone use while driving, along with their enforcement, are a total joke. They just give politicians an excuse for their inaction by saying that they tried to do do something about the problem. "Hey, we passed some laws, what more can we do?"
Ford is even advertising it's Focus as "A computer on wheels", and Honda has made a text-to-voice feature standard on all Civics so you won't miss out on such important stuff as seeing the latest cat video that's trending, or knowing what your friends had for lunch. Instead of promoting driver awareness and involvement in their vehicles, the manufacturers are caving to the public's desire for more & more ways to do everything except drive with each new model they introduce.
