Motorola’s “polite” cellphone

Tue, Sep 13, 2005

Mobile

Motorola is developing a very interesting cellphone. One that can determine your driving circumstances, and reacts according to your incoming calls.

  • If you’re parked, all calls will come through.
  • If you’re cruising, calls from your whitelist will come through, with the rest routed to your voicemail.
  • If you’re braking and steering a lot, all calls will be routed to your voicemail.
  • And if your airbag is deployed, the phone automatically dials 911.

Very hip isn’t it? But like all things automated, its usefulness will depend a lot on its accuracy in determining your driving circumstances.
