Abstract
Computer-implemented methods include detecting a device ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver of a mobile device and a set of vehicle UWB transceivers of a vehicle, determining a defined driver zone within the vehicle, the defined driver zone indicating a set of relative positions within the vehicle, communicating between the device UWB transceiver and the set of vehicle UWB transceivers to determine a position of the mobile device within the vehicle, and automatically enabling a driver mode of the mobile device whereby operation of the mobile device is limited when the determined position of the mobile device is within the defined driver zone and the vehicle is moving.
