"ALGORITHMS: Hang up and drive! One way to stop texting while driving"


Tired of swerving cars operated by drivers who are text messaging in traffic? Patented technology developed by University of Utah (Salt Lake City) researchers may provide a solution.

The system, currently in prototyping, could be available in as little as six months.
