 Looks like it uses GPS to determine the speed you're going and then automatically start. Not quite sure how reliable that set up would be.

I don't really get it - I would rather just not use the phone while driving - software would not help me discipline myself like this.

 Also, if it's speed related, what if you stopped at traffic lights or something? Would it cut off?
