Roadside advertising (BillBoards) should be the next bogeymen to focus on., (that’s just my opinion, ….. nothing more!

No company should ever be held liable for the misuse of their product. The only actual time that I could see where this should stick would have been if Apple had run TV commercials telling people that they had invented the first “safe to text while you drive phone”. Then, maybe, you can be forgiven for thinking that it’s OK.
