New service disables cell phones when driving

LOS ANGELES

There's now a new technology which could put a stop to that. /*T-Mobile*/ has developed a system which renders cell phones useless while driving.

The service automatically disables rings and alerts, and sends calls directly to voicemail when the car is in motion. The feature can be un-done in an emergency.

/*Sprint*/, /*Nextel*/, /*AT&T*/ and /*Verizon*/ are all said to be exploring the same technology.
