American couple James and Bethany Modisette have filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming the company failed to install a feature that would disable FaceTime on iPhones whose users were driving. The couple made the legal challenge after their five-year-old daughter was killed in 2014 by a driver who said he was using the application while driving at high speed. Apple has been accused of not doing enough to prevent accidents caused by its own products.
American couple James and Bethany Modisette have filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming the company failed to install a feature that would disable FaceTime on iPhones whose users were driving. The couple made the legal challenge after their five-year-old daughter was killed in 2014 by a driver who said he was using the application while driving at high speed. The Modisettes cite a patent filed by Apple in December 2008 for a "lock-out" system, which was never implemented.
