A $1 Billion lawsuit was filed last week against Apple and Samsung, who allegedly do not do enough to discourage users from being distracted by smartphones and smartwatches while driving.

The lawsuit was filed in California by the Coalition Against Distracted Drivers (CADD), a Los Angeles-based group who focuses on promoting effective and informative awareness about the dangers of using smartphones and smartwatches while driving. The group is concerned with the rising number of car accidents caused by inattentive drivers.

CADD wants a judge to order both Apple and Samsung to implement a $1 billion program that will educate drivers against using smartphones and smartwatches while driving.

While the Apple Watch has just recently become available for purchase and use, it has begun to raise concerns for the potential increase on the number of deaths and injuries caused by distracted drivers. When a message or call is received by smartwatches, the unit vibrates to alert the user, which may be too much of a temptation to ignore while driving.

CADD argues that texting while driving and receiving other notifications by a device strapped onto one’s wrist will be harder to ignore and lead to an increase of car accidents.
