This is way beyond the world of "apps." Way more then just useful and convenient or for game playing as most apps are. . Many over 18 (all the way through end of college) still live at home and drive the family car. Insurance companies and rental car companies first ask any driver applying for insurance or trying to get a rental car "are you under 25 yrs old?" If you you are, then car insurance is outrageous. There could be big discounts for any one with anti texting software in use. It's also illegal to text as a federal employee in any company vehicle-how is this going to to be enforced? Maybe phoneguard on all gov't issued cell phones? If I was a fleet owner all my employess would be stopped from texting. This app not only saves lives but will save my company millions in liability insurance/potential traffic lawsuits. I can also track my employee' speeds. Does much, much more, and applies to those way over 18yrs old.
My oldest son is 21 and in college (nursing school), myself and my wife are both RNs, he lives at home, works, but drives one of the family cars-my entire family will have this installed on their cell phones (and wear seat belts of course) or move out and get your own car (which will happen eventually so "now" I'm trying to set the example of safety when driving!). This is so much more then just another "app." My wife says "I" need this app and she's right-the voice will "read" any new text to me so I don't have to try to read my phone as I drive.
Didi you see on the news about 8 months ago in New York City-the video of the bus driver who wrecked the bus while texting? Some passenger was video taping him texting and driving. So much more then just an app for teenagers and some caring parents.
