Abstract
When an automobile's risk alerting forward looking radar senses a risk, or the GPS circuit with map indicates that a zone of high risk (such as certain intersections) is being entered, this system instructs the phone to play an alert sound into any on-going telephone conversation or suspend the call so that both parties know the driver needs to pay attention.
