Statistics prove that the use of a mobile phone while driving a vehicle is dangerous unless used with a hands-free kit. Yet day in and day out go around any town or city and you will still see idiot drivers with their mobile phone plastered to their ear while cruising along without a care in the world.
But technology is beginning to take control to halt this dangerous action with devices like Ford’s MyKey and now Key2SafeDriving.
Key2SafeDriving should put a halt to this illegal practice of using a mobile phone while at the wheel as it is a mobile phone jamming device in a key fob which activates when the “key” portion is flicked out, and then connects to a mobile handset via Bluetooth or RFID and forces said handset into “driving mode.”
University of Utah researchers are hoping to see the Key2SafeDriving hit the mobile market within 6 months “at a cost of less than $50 per key plus a yet-undetermined monthly service fee.”
Personal view is build this into every vehicle key so that no mobile phone can be used whilst driving, make it government backed and official worldwide.
