Let's see...

You're driving along, another driver smashes into your car, he's
unconscious and your pinned...so you dial 911 from your
cell...whoops...you're still inside the car, so you can't...

You're a woman driving home late from the office on the freeway, and your
car stalls and stops adjacent to a neighborhood of sleezy white thugs who
can smell you two blocks away if you get out of the car. So, you call for
help from inside your car...whoops...you're still inside the car, so you
can't...

You're driving along a rural road with no shoulders, it is pouring, and
suddenly in front of you, a car careens off the road and smashes into a
tree. There's no way for you to pull over safely and get out to make a
call, but you can't call from inside your car because...Frogwatch's indium
tin oxide won't let you.

How many of these little scenarios do you want?

Your idea...sucks.

Next?

I have a magic cell phone. It not only works in cars, it works inside
ships a thousand miles offshore.

None, they are idiotic.

------------------------------------

Indium tin oxide coatings on windshields was tried by Ford a few years back
as a means of de-icing the windshield by passing current through the
conductive coating.

Wasn't one of Ford's better ideas and the concept was dropped. The coating
was too thick (in order to pass the necessary current) and was not
particularly transparent. It had a bronze look.

It is used on commercial aircraft windows for de-icing purposes and on
avionic displays to eliminate fogging and sheild from EMI.

Indium tin oxide also works much better on the mylar film used in
electrostatic speakers! Thin enough to do the job and totally transparent.
:-)

As for cell phones, rather than mandate more government design regulations,
why not enforce existing laws? If involved in an accident and it is proven
(easily done) that you were using a cell phone at the time, your insurance
company doesn't pay any claims and you are subject to prosecution.

Naw...I chose "white thugs" because the car might have broken down in
your neighborhood, or loogy's, or...well, any of the other white trash
that pollutes this planet.

$100 fine for anyone caught using and driving unless an emergency (involving
blood) and if the user gets caught lying about the emergency, an additional
$500 tacked on. Probably a lot of return dumbass customers. great source of
revenue for the state and local gov'ts.
For people caught texting while driving, officer is allowed to drag the
offender out the window by the hair and pistol whip them. Also applies to
people putting on makeup, reading the paper, leaning over the back seat
beating the kids, wacking thier pud, etc.
Yes Virginia, a lot of people ARE too stupid to take care of themselves.
