What if you're a passenger? But also how could they enforce it if you're just using data through a chat app? If they disable data, that means they also disable maps and navigation.
Why would the passengers need to not use cellphones?
Well exactly, but they'd have the same movement as the driver
“but they’d have the same movement as the driver” What?
In case you're serious. The comment I was replying to suggested that telecom companies could disable texting by detecting who is driving using the phone's movement data. But that movement data will be the same for the driver and the passengers, so they only show that you are in a vehicle, not necessarily driving. So using this would also block texting for passengers which doesn't make any sense.
