Apple intends to launch a patent-pending device that prevents drivers from sending text messages if it detects that the iPhone user is sitting behind the wheel.

Only the driver's phone would be locked, mind you. Other vehicle occupants, whether in a car or a bus, would still be able to receive and send text messages.

Apple's device uses the iSight camera instead of communicating directly with the vehicle, because the necessary modifications would pose a challenge.
