Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving

Posted by kdawson on from the hang-up-and-drive dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Canadian company Aegis Mobility has developed software that detects if a cell phone is moving at 'car' speeds. If so, the software, DriveAssistT, will alert the cellular network, telling it to hold calls and text messages until the drive is over. Calls are not blocked entirely; callers will be notified that the person appears to be driving, but they can still leave an emergency voice mail, which will be sent through immediately."

    Not in America, no. Public transport in America is only for the very, very poor.
