it should be the other way around:
ALL phones should go on hibernation when detecting moving on a car, and to make them work, we should enable them every time... idea to FCC

    Well done to Samsung.

Some modern cars even can be connected using bluetooth for answering call using the stering wheel. There also car's that have their own connected display for answering calls. Car is so smart these day. Smartphone is not the only thing that get smarter, you know.

        guys there is no app / programmer or warning that can save us from inconsiderate fools who think they own the roads and just do as they please. use of a mobile phone while driving is illegal in most countries YET people STILL do it. That means they dont care. Rules and Laws are not there to make your life difficult they not only protect you but others as well.

            I would think they should build some kind of "force screen lock while moving" into the phones, walking/driving and using the phone is just too dangerous...

            Why Apple and Google don't build these safety features into the OS?
