Japanese Wireless Company's New Safety Mode Prevents Users From Texting While Walking

Japanese wireless provider, Docomo, now provides a safety feature for walking and texting – by warning you of the dangers. It’s a voluntary safety mode, so you’ll still be able to turn it off, but if it’s on, the phone will warn you when you are using your phone and walking: Using your smartphone while walking is dangerous. The phone senses you are walking. Please stop.
