When Apple releases iOS 11, IPhone users will find a new feature prompting them to activate a ‘do not disturb while driving’ mode, which will prevent any temptation for we people to look at our phones while we’re driving, well, that is the idea.
If the phone owner ‘forgets’ to turn it on, the phone can tell when it’s moving in a vehicle. This is how it works…thanks to its motion sensors, GPS and WiFi systems. Trying to ‘unlock’ the phone will be purposely difficult to do while driving, but easy if you’re an passenger.
The system won’t stop you pre-connecting the phone via Bluetooth or USB, allowing you to access some of the device’s functions legally through the car.
The software can also send a reply to anyone who messages the driver’s phone while they’re behind the wheel.
