A perfectly reasonable intervention on the part of the government. There are too many irresponsible folks out there who would take the Apple idea as encouragement for drink-driving. Sometimes, government intervention is necessary and this is a good case in point. Remember when AAG pulled the plug on Outspoken? No screen reader support for Mac OS and no one as far as I remember were inclined to offer a replacement. it was owing to anti-descrimination legislation that Apple had no choice but to introduce VoiceOver.
