You've surely experienced it. Perhaps you've even been the culprit. Drivers who talk on their cell phones and appear distracted from the road. Without question, every driver wants to be safe, but they also want to maximize the use of their time and multitask.

To address these new safety issues, a product is currently in the works to allow drivers to use their handheld communications devices without taking their hands off the wheel, or their eyes off the road. The STMCGateway will allow the driver to access his handheld device with a one touch button on the steering wheel. The driver's handheld device rests in a cradle that is linked to the car's network through a combination of wireless technology and a USB connector. The cradle works with any make and model of car, and any type of cell phone, PDA, BlackBerry or other portable device.
