I wonder when something will be done about all the cell phone/texting distracted drivers on the road these days? How many have to die before our legislators say "enough" to the cell phone lobby? It would only take a simple software patch to at least disable texting when a modern GPS enabled cell phone is going more than x MPH. But that might hurt phone sales for Apple and others.
Grossman's Misquote of H. L. Mencken (from Murphey's Law, book two):
"Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand wrong answers."
Tying phone function to the phone's speed seems to me to be an example of this, and one that's often suggested as a way to eliminate this sort of distracted driving. The problem is that there are many common occasions where one may be traveling at speed but not driving: as a passenger in a car, or bus, or train, for instance; and at such times texting is a perfectly valid and safe thing to do.
