Texting and driving is a surefire way to completely distract you from keeping your eyes on the road, so the 'RiVE' dock stops you from being able to do so when your device is docked.

The 'RiVE' dock helps you drive safer by launching the accompanying app that will stop notifications from coming through and focus on things such as music, maps and emergency functionalities.
