Found an article from Insurance Journal dated January 5th, 2018. Article title: Telematics CEO: 5 Trends to Watch in 2018 in Auto Insurance.
Below is number 5 on the list. Unless I’m misinterpreting, it says distracted driving laws are not working well enough, smartphone- based solutions is a better approach., and change is coming.
5 - Outrage with distraction will reach a peak. After more than 3,400 thousand lives lost in 2015 alone and countless accidents as a result of smartphone use in cars, consumers, regulators and insurers will step up their game. Laws have generated short-term effects and general awareness campaigns have produced limited results. Smartphone-based efforts, however, have proven to reduce distracted driving by 20 percent. States will also review how they’re collecting and reporting distracted driving data, which has been significantly underreported to date. Expect some big new ideas that tilt the curve.
