Build a Driving Mode Shortcut for iPhone

The urge to glance down at a buzzing phone while driving at sixty miles per hour is very dangerous. Protecting yourself and others requires removing the distraction entirely. An automated driving mode shortcut for iPhone handles this seamlessly. It acts as a responsible co-pilot, locking down your notifications and serving up exactly what you need to safely reach your destination.

How this vehicle shortcut works

The shortcut triggers the second your iPhone pairs with your car's Bluetooth. It instantly pushes the phone into 'Driving Focus', preventing all notifications from vibrating. It then asks aloud if you want to navigate home or to work, and immediately opens Maps and your podcast application safely.
