I think the idea is you would stop texting while driving, rather than keep getting shocked...

Yes especially if it kills you by causing an accident. I guess the question is just how distracting the shock itself is

Ah yes but, with the threat of being shocked and causing an accident, you will be less likely to text while driving, because you don't want to do things that might get you into an accident oh hold on a second..

Except there are safer alternatives, like charging a fee from the user everytime instead of supplying the shock. I'd imagine that would be more lucrative too.

Sounds like something FAANG could really turn a profit with. Update Foogle Maps to prompt for reroutes more often, charge them for dismissing the prompt. Rinse and repeat…

Also what if there is a bug and you get like 100 shocks in a row...
Why not instead of a shock link your CC and donate 1$ to a politician you like. Just pick the one from last presidential election you like less.
Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?
