Operating mobile phones while driving has been cited [4] as a factor in crashes that have led to 995 deaths and 24,000 injuries in the US alone during the year 2009. We propose context-aware extensions that reduce the need to use a mobile phone while driving. For example, when drivers are on their way to picking up somebody, their phones will automatically notify the person to be picked up that the driver is approaching, and will soon be at the pickup location.
