It probably never will be implemented, as your FCC seems to be more powerful than your DOT, and communication seems to trump transportation.

However, technology already exists to block calls from a single seating position (the driver), while allowing calls from other seating positions, the vehicle itself, and to 911. It is referenced in the article in the first post. This stops hand helds, and texting, by the driver. It just violates some FCC rule about freedom of the airwaves.
