New Technology To Prevent Texting And Driving

AOL Small Business journalist Geoff Williams recently wrote a great article about various technologies which are available to prevent texting and driving.  These applications essentially prevent a driver from using his or her cell phone while operating a motor vehicle.  For example, one application uses GPS and the rate of location change to determine that the cell phone users is traveling in a car.  What isn’t clear is how the application can tell whether the person is driving or just a passenger.
