Software Blocks Calls While Driving

Posted Oct 14, 08 5:55 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – A new software technology can automatically disable cell phones moving at car speeds, augmenting laws already in place forbidding their use while driving, RealTechNews reports. The developer, Canada's Aegis Mobility, is partnering with Nationwide insurance to offer discounts to adopters. Aegis still needs carrier support but expects the software to available next year.
