Great Ideas for Shark Tank
 
The "ole boy" came up with a great idea. Motion detector for cell phones, when you move they stop working...Less accidents.. Bet you have a better idea...Share your ideas also

So you can't receive phone calls unless the phone is sitting still? No thanks.

Well, surely you know every smartphone has an accelerometer built into it. They all know when they're moving already.

It would be a software change to disable them, when moving; say more than 25mph.

But, there's no reason my passengers can't text while I drive or that I shouldn't use the phone for GPS, while driving.

Hmmm!
 
Oooops! bad idea.... Go to Plan B...Maybe need another idea for those that are not responsible with cell phones while driving or those walking and not paying attention.

Not to worry....it all starts with a simple idea. However, implementation si always the key.

How about a mandatory crash course on common sense along with the DMV eye exam.
