Julio Jsca, lives in Orange County, California, and it was here that had an accident: stopped at a traffic light, Jsca saw a semi-conductive 'released' to "look at the phone instead of paying attention to the road". This wedged in the back of his car.
"When the driver got out of the vehicle still had the iPhone in hand, frightened at having caused the accident," says Jsca to The Guardian, adding that the accident has caused an injury in the back.
According to the british newspaper, Julio Jsca is not seeking financial reparation for what has happened. Yes, it is decided to force Apple to implement a security system – which has already been patented – or to suspend iPhone sales in California.
"The life of each one of the residents [of California] is at risk due to the inability of Apple to install a lock system on their iPhones," he said Jsca.
"This is something huge for Apple," says The Guardian Eric Goldman, professor at Santa Clara University. "This process wants to make Apple the financial guarantee of all the victims of accidents caused by a driver who was going to move in your iPhone".
This process, which gave entrance to the court of Los Angeles on the 17th January, follows the same lines of one another that takes place in the court of Santa Clara. In this instance, Bethany and James Modisette sued the tech giant in the north american after a man, who allegedly was using FaceTime while driving, have embatido in your car. The couple’s daughter, only 5 years, he died in this accident.
The locking mechanism, patented since 2014, he should be able to detect – through sensors or for the connection between the iPhone and the vehicle – that the driver is at the wheel and, thus, inhibit some of the functions of the smartphone, such as the possibility of send messages.
Apple, however, has not yet introduced this feature on their phones, and some experts quoted by The Guardian believe that the case could not proceed, since it is not clear whether the mechanism – though proprietary – are ready to be implemented. The british newspaper explains: how is it that the phone would be able to distinguish between driver and passenger?
