A friends kid just got in an auto accident because he was looking at

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.

Let's see...


You're driving along, another driver smashes into your car, he's
unconscious and your pinned...so you dial 911 from your
cell...whoops...you're still inside the car, so you can't...

You're a woman driving home late from the office on the freeway, and
your car stalls and stops adjacent to a neighborhood of sleezy white
thugs who can smell you two blocks away if you get out of the car. So,
you call for help from inside your car...whoops...you're still inside
the car, so you can't...

You're driving along a rural road with no shoulders, it is pouring, and
suddenly in front of you, a car careens off the road and smashes into a
tree. There's no way for you to pull over safely and get out to make a
call, but you can't call from inside your car because...Frogwatch's
indium tin oxide won't let you.


How many of these little scenarios do you want?

Your idea...sucks.

Next?


Oh...it's late at night, there's no moon and no streetlights, and you
need to call someone for directions...so you turn on the overhead light
in your car, find your pencil and paper, call your
buddy...and...whoops...you can't call from inside your car.

Oh...you're in the passenger's seat...someone else is driving...you want
to call grandma and tell her you are running late...whoops...can't do
that, thanks to Frogwatch.

Got it?
