Hands Free Phone Accessability

Details

Introduction

Operating mobile devices while driving is the cause of a large amount of automobile accidents. Luckily, devices are being made to disable a driver's phone while driving. These devices typically send a signal to a user's phone which disables use while the car is moving. This device makes it almost impossible to operate a mobile phone while driving.

However, these devices are only being bought by the most concerned customers. A vast majority of drivers believe that their phone does not affect their ability to operate a motor vehicle and so they feel like a device that disables their mobile phone is useless.

My device would not disable mobile phones, but instead make it so that drivers are able to access features of their phones without having to take their eyes off the road. This makes it safer for users to operate a motor vehicle and appeals to a much larger audience since this devices makes it easier to change music and answer phone calls while driving.
