all really cool and such.... call me old school, but I like my driving with no Phone at all. Then he starts with sayin "pilots us it so it`s safe"...  so how many kids have you seen running in front of an airplane @ 10000ft lately?  c`mon...   sure it will be safer than looking down on your Phone, but when your eyes are focussed on what that device is trying to tell you, they are not focussed on the road.
My Phone would stress out by seeing this thng anyway... I use a sec. generation mobile.... you know, the one that came after the "brick"  :bigsmile:
Can`t wait to see the day it dies..... no new one for me  :grinno:   guess I`m pretty much alone in this....  still can`t figure out why people want to be able to do so many things at the same time.  Just concentrate on what you do and do it right. Seems hard enough for me anyways  ::)

would rather have some type of jamming device that kills everyones signals within 100 feet or so around me,   being in a very high traffic area I see all kinds of things people are doing and sometimes its not very safe.

As tempting as that is, it's already been done, and got expensive for the guy:

 :iagree:

I would prefer 1000' jamming area myself.  :bigsmile:

But I'm like dutch, old school here. I mainly use my phone for calls, maybe a text from time to time but never while driving.  :2thumbs:

I understand the whole distracting thing, but how far do we take it.  A voice controlled phone of text messaging is less distracting and dangerous than having a passenger in the car.  Yes, there are studies on this.  We humans need to turn and look at the person we are chatting with or glace up into the rear view mirror so you can see them.  And don't even get me started on the people that turn all the way around while driving to control the children in the back seat.   :pullinghair:  With phones we can at least help to keep our eyes on the road with voice control technology.  I want a Heads Up Display in mine for the gauges too.   :bigsmile:
