Well, there goes my startup idea for converting a steering wheel to a 6 button keypad. Seriously, it was hard enough to "steer" without even looking at the smartphone they had.

I think there is a startup opportunity for apps that will send a text message at the press of a single button. For example, one that sends an ETA message when you press a button. (Use historical data and location services to dymanically compose an accurate message.)

Maybe something that can use GPS in your car combined with traffic data to let the folks at home know when you are expected to arrive.
