Sure they do. But they don't guarantee your safety with it. They are simply responding to market pressures, and people want to talk on cell phones and drive, as evidenced both by the number of posts on the subject, and a quick scan of the cars I saw driving today (hands free law notwithstanding).

If BMW wanted to make vehicles that could only be used in a safe manner, they probably wouldn't sell cars that can do 250 km/hr in a school zone. Safe driving is all about the driver, not the car.
