New Device Could Help Cops Catch People Who Text And Drive
Jordan Siemens via Getty Images A new device could help cops crack down on distracted driving. Cops would use this so-called "textalyzer" at the scene of a crash to check a phone's activity logs and determine whether the driver's eyes were on his phone instead of the road, according to a press release from New York-based advocacy group Distracted Operators Risk Casualties. Israeli tech company Cellebrite began developing the textalyzer in 2015 after DORC co-founder Ben Lieberman asked the company to build a device that could detect distracted driving. “"I have often heard there is no such thing as a breathalyzer for distracted driving -- so we created one” - Ben Lieberman, DORC co-founder There's no question that distracted driving is dangerous. “If people knew the extent of the damage caused by, they would be amazed.” - Ben Lieberman, DORC co-founder Unlike Cellebrite's other devices, the textalyzer doesn't collect or display any personal information stored on a driver’s phone, according to Jeremy Nazarian, chief marketing officer at Cellebrite.
