Texan 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.
