Samsung announces Android app to fight distracted driving

Samsung In-Traffic Reply Android app

Reducing smartphone distractions for drivers is something that several companies are focused on, and today Samsung announced a new app aimed at doing just that.

In-Traffic Reply is a new Android app made by Samsung that’ll automatically reply to calls and messages while you’re on the road, whether that’s on a bike or in a car. The app uses your smartphones sensors, like GPS, to determine when you’re moving and begin sending automated replies.

The app defaults to sending “I’m driving, so I cannot answer at the moment” as your response, but you can change that. You can also send an animated response or customize your own message.

Samsung is currently beta testing In-Traffic Reply and plans to launch it in the Play Store in mid-May.
