Does the US not have a law against using your phone whilst driving like we do in the UK or something? Is that seriously it?
If that is the case... Jeez... just add it to the list of laws you should have that the rest of the world already goes by, I guess?
Turn off your phone or use Carplay. I hope more states make it illegal to hold your phone while driving
I agree that the driver is responsible, but technically it is not the same.This is almost like suing Jack Daniels for a drunk driver

Jack Daniels cannot stop a drunk driver, while technically Apple could implement a solution that could stop the driver using the phone.
It's not just "almost like", it is.
well to be just like, he would have to sue the automobile industry for not having a kill switch if alcohol is detected on driver lol

At the same time he should sue his parents for conceiving him.
Well... something you will not see from Apple is "impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery".
How is this in even a court case? Does the US not have a law against using your phone whilst driving like we do in the UK or something? Is that seriously it?

Really simple...
If you are driving and caught holding your phone to your face = instant ban
If you are driving and caught Texting = instant ban
If you are driving and tapping in Directions to GPS = instant Ban ( stop and enter them )
Basically stop to use your phone or Use Siri or whatever if you REALLY REALLY have to.
Buy an LG, you won’t be distracted, because the phone will be bootlooping while you drive!
This is simply ridiculous!
It’s never one person’s blame, right?
Julio Ceja is a moron.
Ever human being has an IQ.Some Humans never cease to amaze with their IQ, or complete lack thereof!
I wouldn't be too sure about the frivolous part. A woman did successfully sue McDonalds because her coffee was too hot and it caused her injury.
Since Julio Ceja didn't text while driving, but had the bad luck to get into the way of an idiot who was using their phone while driving, and that was clearly expressed in the article, which you apparently totally failed to either read or understand, please reconsider who is the moron here.
Not to mention the company’s that manufacture alcoholic and gambling products.Playing devils advocate here, I hope everyone that is so defensive of Apple's responsibility in this matter are just as defensive of the Smith & Wesson's, Ruger's, Remington's, etc.
Anyone who files a lawsuit like this is essentially admitting they have no awareness of nor control over their own actions as it relates to the safety of other citizens. They should immediately be locked away in a padded room for the rest of their life to ensure they don't continue to be a danger to others.
This is no different than people wanting to hold gun manufacturers liable for the illegal use of weapons. An object is generally not inherently unsafe, it is its misuse by a person that results in injury and that person needs to be held responsible.
