Integrating A Universal Cell Phone Car Mount

By Rena Hudson


There have been a lot of changes and advancements in technology over the last decade. We are seeing things that our parents only saw in science fiction but to use it is a part of our everyday lives. A universal cell phone car mount for example is taking what we have in our hands and giving us the opportunity to utilize its many different functions while driving.

The various functions available for today's smart phone user are unprecedented. In the past certain companies made stand alone GPS mapping systems specifically for helping people get around while driving. That has not changed, those companies still exist and they still manufacture mapping devices. The difference is that a cell phone can do the same thing.

Our cell phones are quickly becoming the go to device for anything we might need done. There are almost no limits to the technology and the uses for what used to be simply a telephone. Imagine if we have not added all of these various functions to our phones. If all they did was place a call or receive one, there would hardly be any use for them.

It makes sense, because it is almost impossible to dedicate one's full attention to a cell or driving one must not focus on the other. This can be a very dangerous mix while driving a 2,000 pound car. This is exactly why mounts have been designed to hold phones in the drivers line of sight without the need for them to also hold it.

People had a device that could do anything they needed it to do, the only problem was holding the phone and driving at the same time. Maybe for some not a difficult task. But for others, like a truck driver who needs to use two hands on the wheel and also to shift the many gears a semi has, there is no way they could hold a cell phone and operate it while driving their rig.

Adding these to the various things we do when we drive is a no-brainer. Of course safety is always a concern and that is exactly why they need to be mounted somehow and not in the hand of the driver. That would just be way too distracting and if the drivers do not have their hands on the wheel there is no telling what could happen.

Safety needs to be first and foremost on the minds of designers and engineers. The mounting of the phone gives the driver the perfect view of the screen and allows them to continue driving the right way. For some this is still not enough and voice activated systems can be used. The options are limitless.

Safety is and always will be a concern and rightfully so. The universal cell phone car mount that has been developed over the last couple years seems to have finally worked out whatever bugs they had. Just like any new product it takes time to get it right. Now that they have, there is nothing that you cannot put and use in your car while driving.
