    Textecution.com - No More Texting While Driving

    textecution

    In the words of the team behind this project, “Textecution kills texting functions while driving so your child, loved one, or employee lives.” This is quite an apt definition of the provided solution, and it must be said that it is an interesting development that can play out a very important role towards road safety.

    The implementation of such a solution is quite unobtrusive, as it sits quietly on the background upon installing it and only pops up when you want to use your mobile device, letting you know if you are driving to fast to send or receive text messages. Only when the phone is at rest or your travelling speed is lower than 10mph will the texting ability be regained.

    This application can be procured at the site for a price that is described online. For the time being, Textexecution is only available on the HTC G1 by T-mobile. It is stated that more phones will become supported as the Android platform expands its market. In the meantime, you can get started if you own the aforementioned device.

    In their own words

    “We created this application because we care about people. Not just you, but others on the road as well. National statistics show a substantial increase in the number of vehicle accidents that are caused by drivers who are texting while operating their vehicle. We created Textecution in an effort to decrease the number of accidents that are caused by drivers who drive recklessly distracted because they are reading or typing text messages instead of focusing on the road.”

    Why it might be a killer

    An application such as this one makes a significant contribution towards road safety as a whole.

    Some questions

    When will other mobile devices become supported?
