Ya' think? 51 started threads and ~775 messages since September 1.
Some people really just like to hear themselves speak - er...watch themselves type.
there should be a limit imposed on macrumors on how many new threads a member can create in a month.
this question could have easily been asked in the general thread.
no, it won't be a safety concern as it takes less than a second to unlock. for less time than you'd spend actually using the phone in the first place.

But how ELSE is someone going to get attention???
I bet you feel pretty silly now, right?
[doublepost=1507837288][/doublepost]New thread idea:
How many new threads can I create (POLL):
1
2
3
4
Doesn't matter, and I should ask again just to be SURE
Both are high risk

Yea I just don’t get the point of threads like this.
In the UK the maximum term for causing 'death by dangerous driving' ie while on the phone was 14 years in prison.
It is now Life in prison:

Accessibility
Accessibility is an integral part of Apple products. Users with physical limitations can select “Accessibility Options” during enrollment that doesn't require the full range of head motion to capture different angles and is still secure to use but requires more consistency in how you look at iPhone X.
Face ID also has an accessibility feature to support individuals who are blind or have low vision. If you don't want Face ID to require that you look with your eyes open at iPhone X, you can open Settings > General > Accessibility, and disable Require Attention for Face ID. This is automatically disabled if you enable VoiceOver during initial set up.
To use Face ID, you must set up a passcode on your iPhone. You must enter your passcode for additional security validation when:
- The device has just been turned on or restarted.
- The device hasn’t been unlocked for more than 48 hours.
- The passcode hasn’t been used to unlock the device in the last six and a half days and Face ID hasn't unlocked the device in the last 4 hours.
- The device has received a remote lock command.
- After five unsuccessful attempts to match a face.
- After initiating power off/Emergency SOS by pressing and holding either volume button and the side button simultaneously for 2 seconds.
i heart OP (fwiw)
you can set faceID to where you don't have to look at it.. it's less secure than the version where you need to give it eye contact.
i don't know how much less secure but it is an option as described by c.Federighi in one of those interviews he did a week or two back.

[edit] hey wait.. that's what he just said

If you're FaceID risk averse, then iPhone X is simply not for you. Do not generalize and assume everyone gets easily distracted by their phones whilst driving or walking, hence speak for yourself
TouchID might work without your attention/having to look at your phone, but eventually you're gonna have to look at your phone after it's unlocked.
How is this different to people snatching the phone off your hands while texting, looking at maps etc.
And people using TouchID wouldn't be looking at their phones at all, paying more attention on the road. All iPhone users really do is lock and unlock their devices. Constantly.
I think next time I see a thread by you I won't even bother reading it.
You should not be using your phone while driving. Face ID or not. It's dangerous to use a mobile phone while operating a vehicle.
Robbers can hold a knife or gun to you and force you to not only unlock your phone, but to also erase the data.
Face ID doesn't make you more a target than touch ID or a passcode.

It would be ideal for most threads
BINGO

But...in your very first sentence in the post you said...
“iPhone X is a safety hazard and risk to driving.”
You stated that as a fact...NOT as a question. Same with the other dramatic statements and claims you made. Bad form.
Um.... all of that is a moot point because you need to look at your phone to USE it for all practical purposes (except perhaps apple pay)
I open same sort of thread of thread was bombarded by this forums die hard fans. I mounted iphone and iphone unlocked from quite a distant and iphone was not faced directly to my face. I unlocked it without removing from my magnetic mount.
