Hands-free Technology

Since there isn’t any action enforced with cell phones and driving in Florida, there will have to be other actions taken to help decrease accidents related to cell phones.  Printed in the U.S. News and World Report, the University of Utah researchers have been developing a car key that blocks the use of a cell phone while driving.  This “Key2SafeDriving” system that is being introduced, is a device that sends a signal to the cell phone in the vehicle, commanding it to prevent any incoming calls or text messages to come through while driving.  It will reply to the incoming calls and texts that you as a driver will call them back when arrived safely at destination.  Once the key is out of the ignition, the cell phone will be able to pick up signal again.  This is one of the ways to improve safety in teenagers and even adults.

I find this credible because it came from an article called “Car Key Device Jams Teens’ Cell Phones”, posted in U.S. News in World report.  I believe this and the Textecution technology would be neat to use.  I preferably would rather use the Textecution technology, but for new drivers I think the “Key2SafeDriving” is a good solution to safer driving.
