Mobile App to Prevent Texting Behind the Wheels

AT&T’s new mobile application DriveMode automatically sends a customizable auto-reply to incoming texts, notifying senders that the user is driving and unable to respond. It also allows disabling of emails, incoming and outgoing calls and Web browsing. Customers can manually enable the app prior to driving, and once it is turned off, users can view the calls, messages and emails as they normally would. DriveMode offers additional safety and convenience features, including an “Allow List” that lets users select up to five contact numbers to send and receive calls while the app is running.
