I'm sure this won't be the last instance of this.

 

 

 

"A car manufacturer has developed a compartment that blocks mobile phone signals.

 

Nissan says the prototype Signal Shield, built into the arm rest of its Juke crossover vehicle, will eliminate distractions caused by incoming calls, messages and social media notifications.

 

The box works on the principle of the Faraday cage - invented in the 1830s - which uses material such as a wire mesh to shield its contents from electromagnetic fields."

It'll also chew up the battery as the phone will constantly be looking for a cell tower, and will keep increasing the power in an attempt to find one! Might as well just turn on flight mode.

No one is going to buy a car with this.

 

What's the fuss again?
