Apple FaceTime car crash lawsuit dismissed

BBC:

A lawsuit blaming Apple for a child’s death in a car crash, has been dismissed by a US appeals court in California.

Garrett Wilhelm told police he was using FaceTime on the iPhone 6 when he crashed into the back of a family car.

Five-year-old Moriah Modisette died from the injuries she sustained in the 2014 Christmas Eve accident in Texas. Her family held Apple responsible for not enabling “lockout” technology on the phone.

This is an awful, horrible tragedy and our hearts go out to the little girl’s family but it’s not the responsibility of Apple.
