Samsung in Singapore have developed a new app to stop dangerous distracting calls and texts when driving. The app, which is activated when the user travels at over 20kmph, also silences notifications from social media apps.

The app is also programmed to send an automated reply to texts, letting them know you are driving.

For added awareness alone, this app receives a thumbs up from me. But would it mean I can’t use my phone as a passenger, or on the train though? That’s one boring commute… it will definitely need a way to deactivate it easily!
