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.

Better yet, put the stuff on window film that could be applied to
older cars.

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.

Here, caught using the phone and not hands free, costs $250. Look over
yesterday on way to dinner with wife and young lady in an expensive car is
using the phone to her ear. Should have got the phone option or for $75
bought a Motorola Bluetooth speaker phone.

Yeah, I can tell by all the great ideas you've posted here. Like the
no-cell film. I can only think of, oh, a dozen reasons why that idea
sucks. The problem is irresponsible cell phone users who don't pull over
before making or receiving a call, not that you can use a cell phone
inside a car.

Just like your thought processes.

None.
