Government wants to block much cell phone, etc. use in cars

http://j.mp/13qqY5h  (Wired)

   "Nathaniel Beuse, associate administrator for vehicle safety research
    at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, says government
    regulation coupled with standards set by automakers and the
    electronics industry could reduce fatalities. He says we need "a
    technological solution, some sort of innovation" in which the device
    or the car would recognize when the driver is using a mobile device
    and deactivate it. "This would be the ultimate solution," he says."

In a word: impractical.
