France is taking new measures to keep drivers off of their phones while they are on the road. The country s highest court has ruled that drivers cannot use their phones even after pulling over; they ll need to park in a designated parking spot and shut off their engine. The only exception the court provided is in the event of an emergency. The fine for violating the ban, according to Le Figaro, is about 166 (135 ). According to The Local, a French news site, the catalyst for the ruling was a driver who appealed his fine after parking in a roundabout with the hazard lights on in order to use his phone. The law doesn t apply to hands free devices, though it does restrict wireless headsets, according to APH. So if hauling your ass to an official parking spot each time you need to hit someone up doesn t sound appealing, you should invest in a phone dock.
Bans against using smartphones while driving are common across Europe. In fact, nearly every country prohibits the practice, while making exceptions for hands free use. But France s new ban takes it to another level by also prohibiting headphones and earphones, and requiring the engine to be shut off and the car to be in a parking spot.
France saw its fewest traffic related deaths in 2013, but the number has since increased. Road deaths totaled to almost 3,500 in 2016. The steady increase has prompted the government to roll out a number of stricter driving regulations in the country, not limited to the latest ruling. The government announced that it plans to cut speed limits, enforce harsher punishments for violating phone bans, force repeat drunk drivers to install ignition interlocks, and force drivers whose licenses were suspended for speeding to install speed limiting devices. France also announced that at the end of the year it will prevent users from informing others of police checks through driving apps.
It s true that Apple stripped the Air of certain technologies that consumers had grown used to, but for some, the Air s lack of features was a benefit. Apple took a stance on discipline and reductionism, says Mladen Barbaric, who founded the industrial design studio Instrumments as well the branding and product design firm Pearl Studios. If you re going to make the ultimate travel laptop, you re going to have to make some tradeoffs. In retrospect, those tradeoffs, however painful they were at the time, ushered in the untethered way of working that s so common today. When the Air first launched, the cloud was still an imperfect and nebulous concept. I remember repeatedly deleting files from my laptop when its hard drive inevitably reached capacity. But Apple took an early bet that enough people prized portability over power, and it eventually paid off. It forced me to modernize my way of working, says Barbaric. I still work this way today.
To this day, Apple still uses the processes it put in place for the MacBook Air to manufacture MacBooks and MacBook Pros. The forms are different, but the DNA is the same. Apple figured out how to shove miniaturized components into an ever shrinking metal body without relying on the the Air s tapered visual effect, which gives the new MacBook a different silhouette. The primary virtues of the new MacBook—its thinness and lightness—are evolutionary traits inherited from the very first Air. They could ve named the new MacBook ‘MacBook Air and you probably wouldn t have blinked, Barbaric says. Instead, Apple decided to let the Air stand alone and die a slow, laborious death. Just last week, the company dropped a hint that it might finally kill the Air after years of letting it lag. It s hard to deny that the time has come for the Air, at least in its current form, to cede its place as Apple s entry level notebook. But it s just as important to remember its legacy as the spiritual precursors to the laptops we know and love today.
