Some people are just incapable of multitasking, which can lead to all sorts of [accidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collision-prevention-system). The ORIGOSafe is a device that should be outfitted in the vehicles of the more inattentive driver.

This accident-preventing device disables the driver from starting up their vehicle unless their smartphone is inserted in its docking station; if the phone is removed while the in the vehicle is being operated the device will produce an alarming sound. The gadget charges the phone while it’s inside the dock and also enables the driver to [access calls and messages via Bluetooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-dashboard-app).

If you’re a responsible enough driver, then outfitting your vehicle with this would seem unnecessary, but for the more carefree individual with a tendency to drift or daydream, I highly suggest equipping your vehicle ASAP.
