Apple has the data on how many iPhones are being used by drivers, while moving, and how many are involved in accidents. It's almost like if you had a handgun that had a camera on it that knew children where on the other end of the barrel, and had the ability to not fire when the shooter pulled the trigger. Apple knowingly put a tremendous amount of senors on a device that distracts drivers. The class action lawyers haven't figured this one out yet, but give it time.

How would Apple know if the iPhone is being used by a driver, as opposed to a passenger?

Isn't this obvious? Use the cameras on the front and back of the device. It's a trivial problem with Apple's sophisticated image description models.

You mean have the cameras constantly be activated if the device is moving greater than x speed? Wouldn’t that drain the batteries a ton?
And what characteristics does the phone look for? It could just be sitting on someone’s lap or held in a way that cannot see the outside or the steering wheel.
