So why not take that a step further and program them to also
calculate their speed, and if it's over, say, 10 MPH for more
than,
say, 30 seconds the phone disconnects itself unless it is
connected
to 911?

Wouldn't it be better to have the cellphone tattle on you
to the authorities who could then write you a ticket ?

That would encourage people to turn their frikkin phones off
when they were exceeding the speed limit which seems like
a very commendable goal.

But how do "the authorities" know that you were driving the car?
The
phone would also tattle on the passengers in the car, not to
mention
people who were on a train or a bus.

The evil and treasonous Bu$h regime could secretly add spy
software to the cellphone under cover of the patriot act. As a
matter of fact, they probably already have.

That's fine--in fact if it can reliably and in an automated fashion
report those who are talking and driving vs those who are talking and
sitting in the passenger seat in the same car I'm all for it, but I
can't figure out how to write a piece of code that will fit in a cell
phone that will do that.
