KeywordsTexting driving kids preventing mobile apps
According to statistics provided by Securafoneceo Chris Holbert, 11 teenagers in the United States die from car-texting accidents every day. As a result, parents are eager to limit their children's ability to use mobile phones while driving. Securafone caters to the needs of these people, although young people may be a bit resentful of this application. Securafone is an app for iphones and Android phones that can block some of the phone's functionality (such as text messages) when moving faster than 5 miles or more. In addition, it allows parents to monitor their children's routes, using the mobile phone's GPS function for location tracking, information can be traced back 90 days. At the same time, parents can set up a geographic fence (geo-fence) to send warning messages to their parents once the child has exceeded its established status. The software can also tell them to exercise speed, as soon as the child drives too fast (exceeding the set threshold) and sends a warning to the parent. If a child needs to send text messages because of an emergency, you must use the application to send a request to your parents, which provides a 15-minute communication time window. Some of the features offered by Securafone are free and the monthly fee for the paid feature is 8.99 USD/month, but it is not clear which features are free. These features all seem to be very good features, at least for parents. My question is, what happens if a child unloads the application? Or simply shut down and what to do? What if you even throw your phone away? Perhaps a more feasible solution is to allow cars to be implanted in such applications, allowing for a controlled driving mode.
