Put another way: Any alarm clock user who denies that he has heard the siren song of the snooze button is lying. There must always be an opt-out mechanism and fallible, foolish humans will always use it to thwart original intent of safety measures. People already know that distracted driving is dangerous. But automatically disabling certain apps in a fast-moving vehicle — as the grieving family of 5-year-old distracted driving victim Moriah Modisette is suing to force Apple to do — won’t work. And if there's an opt-out, then fallible, foolish humans will always use it to thwart the original intent.
