Cellcontrol's  new feature called DriveID, allowing it to prevent only the driver of the car from using his phone, is demoed in the video Android Authority took at CTIA 2013, alongside the other features of the driver security protocol.

Android Authority's Joshua Vergara has received a first-hand demo of the features Cellcontrol offers in order to keep drivers (and especially teenagers) safe while behind the wheel.
Until we get driverless cars on every road, it's a good idea to keep teenagers from using their phones while driving, and Cellcontrol is a great way of doing just that. It has a module that plugs into the car's OBD2 port and communicates with your phone (any car made later than 1996 will have that port, so you shouldn't be too worried regarding compatibility).
The device won't allow you to use your phone when the car is moving, meaning it prevents access to calls, e-mail, Facebook or Twitter. Instead it shows a lock screen, as you can see in the image below. Apps or calls from certain contacts can be whitelisted so, for example, the teenager does get calls from the parents and can use the GPS navigation on the smartphone (emergency calls are always possible). You can even get notifications when the driver goes over the speed limit, for example.

The problem was that, if a passenger was in the car, he couldn't use his phone, either, even if he wasn't driving. As you'll see in the video below, a solution has been found to this problem, in the form of a solar-powered box on the widescreen, which creates zones in the car. It distinguishes between the area the driver is in and the one for passengers, so passengers can use the phone, but the driver can't.
The technology is called DriveID and you can watch it at work in the our demo video below:
While the Cellcontrol device costs $89 and can be bought from Walmart, the new DriverID device is coming in Q3, with the price not known yet.
