A friends kid just got in an auto accident because he was looking at
his cell phone. So, lets think of ways to make cell phones not work
in cars.
Indium tin oxide is a transparent electrical conductor that can be
applied to glass by evaporation. If we put it on the auto glass would
it block cell phone signals? Yes, it would only be done on new cars.
Yes, you could always roll the window down and use the phone.
Oh, he was not hurt thank god.

You'd probably have to coat the whole car in it. There are electronics that
will do the trick, but then not being able to make an "emergency" call would
probably nix that idea. How we survived when there was only pay phones is
beyond me...

Unfortunately, young drivers will always have something to distract them
enough to wind up in an accident. The radio was a big culprit when I was a
kid... prolly still is.
