Amazing how this lawsuit conflates all texting while driving incidents to be caused by using iPhones but not by Android phone users. How is that? The fact is that 42,000 accidents in California are attributed to “distracted driving” not just “texting while driving.”
That distracted driving category includes eating, drinking, shaving, putting on make-up, fiddling with the radio and CD, holding a cellular phone and talking, looking at a map, disciplining unruly kids in the backseat, etc., as well as texting.
And sexting, if you’re Anthony Weiner!
“Amazing how this lawsuit conflates all texting while driving incidents to be caused by using iPhones”
Exactly.
It is a lawsuit simply to poke and harass Apple because they wouldn’t bow to the altar of All Powerful Government and install a back door into all iPhones.
I just passed a woman yesterday—she was weaving and driving 60 in the middle lane—at least 15 mph slower that traffic. I glanced at her to see what the problem was, and lo and behold—an iPad balanced in the center of the steering wheel and an iPhone cradled against her shoulder!
I didn’t see any Apple employees in her car, but obviously someone was forcing the woman into this dangerous behavior.
It isn’t the phone or the car that’s the problem. I think an app to vote drivers off the road would be a good idea.
Exactly!
When I check my speed to avoid the cops, I’m distracted! When I dial the radio, I’m distracted! When I check my rear view mirror, I’m distracted. I could go on and on.
I don’t believe these statistics. I do believe that tens of millions of people get in a vehicle and drive each day and their eyes are not always on the road. What the fn solution is, stay home I guess!
