Everyone knows that when we are driving we have to pay attention exclusively to the road, but it is clear that this seems to cost us too much. Understanding that a distraction can be fatal while driving is the task of the user, but if in addition to this, Apple itself improves the technology of their watches so that they do not receive notifications while we are driving, then better. Obviously it is a matter of raising awareness to the driver so that he is not distracted with the iPhone, the Apple Watch, the radio or the like, but if new features of this type are also added to the devices, then better.
In this case it is just a patent but it would be interesting for Apple to work on it for its devices since it could clearly know when the user is driving and it would prevent the arrival of notifications until the same car stops. Obviously this technology patented by Apple could be used by any wearable, and it is quite interesting.
This patent is already registered and approved to Apple in the United States patent registry office, and the operation is made clear to us by the image that we have above but basically it will also depend on the car itself, and the user's own settings on the device. So you can adjust the notifications so that emails or some messages are not notified, but it would notify calls. This would depend on the user's own configuration and if the car also has CarPlay, it could be really interesting. We will see if in the end it ends up arriving officially or remains in a patent more registered by the guys from Cupertino.
