Technology that prevents motorists from receiving calls, text messages and alerts from social media networks while they are driving could be available in Britain by next year. Groove, a device created by an American inventor, Scott Tibbitts, can detect when a phone is inside a vehicle and prevents it from receiving incoming communications if it moves at more than 5mph. It unlocks the phone when the engine is switched off.
Driving while texting or talking on the phone is dangerous as it distracts us which could lead to accidents. However it seems that one particular entrepreneur, Scott Tibbits, has come up with a rather interesting solution to that – a cellphone “jammer”. Now unlike actual jammers, this doesn’t jam your phone per se. Basically all it does is it plugs into your car and when you turn your engine on and it detects that your car is moving, it will send a signal to your carrier in which incoming calls, text, social media notifications and whatnot will be blocked. Essentially this is a self-blocking jammer of sorts, so it’s really up to the driver to enforce it.
