Smart Apps,cars will reduce crashes while Texting

To reduce the rising tide of car crashes caused by smartphone distractions,lot of countries (all 50 US states) have passed laws banning texting while driving. Unfortunately, those bans aren't doing anything to stop the rise of text-related car accidents.Now it is considered even more dangerous than driving drunk, texting behind the wheel is an issue getting a lot of attention from governments and public safety agencies, with many folks pushing for stricter laws and greater enforcement. But where the law comes up short in curbing the distracted driving trend, technology may step in and offer a solution to the problem of its own making.follow it shows some concurrent and future smart approaches to overcome this issue.

1. There are a host of apps that block incoming messages or distracting alerts on your phone when you're driving, mainly geared toward parents with tech-addicted teens.
2. In one Ford smart car design, the vehicle itself senses when the driver is stressed or distracted and locks your phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode. An recent Apple patent describes technology that would disable texting while you're driving.
3. Many newer auto models already have some kind of in-car communication system built in that syncs with your phone and is controlled either by voice commands or with buttons on the steering wheel so you can keep your eyes on the road.
4. Meanwhile, it's rumored that Google's developing a similar, Knight Rider-reminiscent system called Project KITT, which the company may reveal at this month's I/O conference.
