Smh. This is the side of technology that makes people lazy or attempts to justify a person's lack of responsibility. When an individual gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, it is THEIR responsibility to engage in safe driving practices from wearing their seatbelt to NOT TEXTING.

How is it now Apple's responsibility to babysit able-minded people on what is safe when on the road. Every single person who texts while driving understands the risk they take by doing so. The people who take that risk have already been compromised due to making a choice to allow their phone distract them.

Instead of forcing a company to make it easier for people who CHOOSE to text while driving, to not be able to, why not work with the local authorities to tighten up on texting while driving laws. Collaborate with auto manufacturers and transportation departments to build a synced infrastructure that can implement preventative measures for distracted drivers. If the state of California is really concerned about the safety of drivers then all involved parties need to be considered, not just one company.
