The document describes a proposed mobile app called CareNET that aims to address the problem of texting while driving. It would show the real-time driving status and location of family members and friends to give users visibility into whether the person is currently driving before deciding to text or call them. The minimum viable product would test the hypothesis that increased visibility into someone's driving status can help reduce distracted driving behaviors and provide value by allowing people to socialize without endangering others.
