Apple Watch and other Smartwatches driving distractions? Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Stupid
Well, the solution is then obvious. Sell those watches only to people who can prove, in a series of psychological tests, that they can resist the irresistible.
Unfortunately therein lies another problem. People who want these watches are very likely to want to be in contact with everyone, all the time.
Lawyers should come with warning labels.
I don’t have one, but don’t these things by now have text-to-speech and vice-versa as standard applications?
I’d consider a SmartWatch arguably worse than a phone when you’re driving. You can’t operate it with one hand.
This is different from glancing at an ordinary watch or looking down at the dashboard, or over at the GPS map, or a mirror, or back over a shoulder?
Are there people so deluded that they think drivers should never blink or ever look away from the road directly ahead?
And how much of that $1 billion will go to the lawyer?
I’m sure your smartphone is going to be all abuzz with twitter updates as you’ve put who knows how much distance and 30+ feet of water from the nearest cell tower. Heck, if you’re floating at the surface and your wrist is underwater, I’m guessing that there’s 15 feet of water, direct line of sight to the nearest tower.
There’s a reason why any travel to Mars will have a water jacket around crew areas. It stops radiation...all types of it.
Yet another LEECH who produces nothing of value and simply wants to feed (in a VERY AMPLE fashion) off of the productive elements in private industry.
Sticking with my Rolex. Way cooler.
I've never worn a watch so it is useless to me but I bet a lot of people start wearing watches and this might be a problem because you know people will use it to read text messages but it's not the companies' fault.

Has he considered suing Taco Bell because they sell their Tacos at the drive-through window ... and eating Tacos is extremely dangerous while driving? ... LOL ...
Smile fanboys, it's a joke!
Can we deport another group of TERRORISTS....trial lawyers...?
Ummm...
From a Conservative geek’s perspective, I would have no complaint if my phone would only receive phone calls and continue calls in progress while in motion. (hands-free, of course)
Seems a stupid simple solution to the problem of distracted driving.
