According to discussions in the Western press, Apple plans to integrate auto-blocking functionality into its products while driving. We’re talking about the Do Not Disturb option, which can evolve. More precisely, degrade. But that is not everything…

The law’s eternal battle with traffic offenders around the world is not paying off everywhere. If in some countries a mobile phone in the driver’s hand is immediately fined, and for a colossal amount, then in other states, including Russia, the sanctions “do not work”. Of course there are, but there are no fewer cases of using smartphones while driving. How can you not look through the tape in Telegram and disrespect the “like” of a juicy brunette on social networks while vegetating in a traffic jam. Familiar story right?

According to Article 12.36 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, using mobile phones while driving without a headset and Bluetooth is punishable by a fine of 1,500 rubles.

So: “Yabloko” decided to stand up for security and continued to actively test the function that automatically blocks the “iPhone” after connecting the device to the standard head unit in the car. Now consider that the “Do not disturb” option can be configured individually, after which the phone will independently send messages to people trying to contact the subscriber that it is currently not ready for communication.

In order to meet modern trends, when, for example, cars themselves have learned to show traffic jams and build routes, send e-mail by voice, and also send the necessary information from the Internet directly to a regular monitor, the creators of the iPhone think about the following measures to increase road safety. And the language of a Russian who suffers from “iphonomania” is to simply render the gadget useless. It is necessary to study accounts or communicate in messengers – stop. Or do not use the device while driving.

However, the already American smartphone has deprived the Russian consumer of a number of functions. Sanctions backfired on millions of users with non-functioning applications, the inability to pay for purchases by touching payment terminals, as well as the loss of data from cloud services and even music. Therefore, the hour has not even come yet, and our compatriots will en masse give up the once glamorous gadgets in favor of no less technologically advanced Chinese counterparts. The latter are also much lower in price.
