We have too many people that would try to take advantage of flaws in the system or outright cheat the system.

Maybe blocking texts while in Drive, or over 5mph or something.
And drown all the lawyers who would sue on a loophole; this litigious society crap has to stop.

Some modern cars and truck have text recognition software that will read the texts to you without you having to take your eyes off the road.

If there is any justice (or at least good karma) then the new vehicles like the Chevy cars with Wi-Fi connectivity will become a haven for hackers. Use your vehicle Wi-Fi and get hacked, and if you're REALLY lucky you have the same hackers take control of your car WHILE YOU'RE driving it!
