It would be great (and safer) if something in a running car rendered a phone inoperable. Maybe a GPS linked device that shut the phone down if the car was moving. It would probably result in a significant decline in accidents.
I agree, it could be tied to the speedometer or maybe the gear selector being in any gear but park. If the car is moving then no cell service. But you would still have people looking at their phone at a stop light.
