Driving mode for smart phones

2 pointsby techwatchingabout 11 years ago
Similar to Airplane Mode, how about Driving Mode?<p>Something akin to iOS Do Not Disturb, you would set a speed threshold beyond which notifications are silenced - i.e.: &gt;= 25 km&#x2F;hr, phone effectively silences itself. Slow down again, notifications come back on.<p>This feature would include the option to explicitly disable Driving Mode if you are, for instance, on a train or in a taxi.<p>Thoughts?

&gt;This feature would include the option to explicitly disable Driving Mode if you are, for instance, on a train or in a taxi.<p>I feel like the same people that need driving mode would be the same people that would just turn that off. It doesn&#x27;t work.
