Systems and methods for reducing distracted driving are disclosed herein. A mobile device may receive one or more beacon signals emitted from one or more beacons located at different locations within a vehicle. The mobile device determines whether the mobile device is located within the vehicle. The mobile device disables one or more functions of the mobile device if determined to be in the vehicle. The mobile device then determines whether to re-enable at least one of the disabled functions.

Anti-distracted driving systems and methods

An anti-distracted driving system comprises a plurality of transceivers at different locations within a vehicle. Each of the transceivers is operable to receive a signal from a mobile communication device and to output a detection signal indicative of the strength of the received signal. A controller in communication with the transceivers is operable to calculate a corresponding distance of the mobile communication device for each of the detection signals and to determine a location of the mobile communication device within the vehicle based on the distances. The controller can send a signal from a transceiver to a mobile communication device in response to determining that the mobile communication device is near a driver's seat, the signal causing at least one function of the mobile communication device to be inhibited.
