[QUOTE="Jackson Ellis, post: 1006878, member: 70795"] My phone can be completely controlled by voice command, even to wake it up. It also has a built in "driving mode" in which it will verbally announce any alerts, such as an incoming call or text. It tells you whose calling or who sent you a text, and it tells a caller that you're driving and will get back with them soon, and it will send a reply text automatically with a similar message for incoming texts. It can also be setup to automatically enter driving mode when it detects my SYNC blue-tooth connection. As to Rich's point, all of this is optional, and it's up to the phone owner to use these. I don't use it often. This is what I foresee. Most smart phones are already equipped to be excellent tracking devices. They can also be made to log all inputs/usage. Texting will become like drunk driving. It will be illegal; the cops can pull you over (or arrive at the scene of your accident) and check your phone to see if you indeed typed a text while the car was moving and you were in the driver's seat. You will get a serious fine/jail time and be held to a higher account for liability, such as manslaughter charges for killing someone accidentally. Disabling the tracking or useage log will also incur fines. Politicians, sports stars, and hot blondes will get free passes. Like drunk driving, these measures will have an effect, but will not cure habitual texters, nor keep someone from texting on impulse or when he thinks he won't get caught. Way more people will do it than will admit to it.:driving: [/QUOTE]
