Man launched class-action lawsuit hoping to force Apple to implement lockout feature to prevent texting while driving or have phone sales halted in California
A California man has launched a class-action lawsuit against Apple for failing to introduce an iPhone safety feature that would prevent people from texting while driving.
Julio Ceja, from Orange County in California, was rear-ended by a driver who was allegedly distracted while using her phone. According to the complaint, Ceja was at a traffic light when he saw a driver behind him "engaged in using her phone instead of paying attention to the road in front of her".
