Beyond “Bell-to-Bell Ban”: Rethinking Technology Under Indiana’s New Cell Phone Law https://t.co/jWY9kurF9U

Is Indiana’s new cell phone law really just a “bell-to-bell” phone ban?

There’s more flexibility—and more opportunity—than many realize.

In our latest Knowledge Center article, we introduce two instructional models: Tech-Free Learning and Tech-Integrated Learning, and explore how charter schools can think beyond

@4TESLANZ @Tesla_AI @TeslaAUNZ I would like to see the rear camera. If there is a car behind that may rear-end you on a sudden stop, fsd will slow at the best pace to avoid both.

It’s strange how short our collective memory is. For decades we’ve used cruise control in cars, and everyone always understood that it didn’t mean you could take your hands off the wheel or stop paying attention. Cruise control maintained your speed, nothing more. You still had to steer, brake, and react. If you ran into the back of someone while it was on, that was your fault. No one ever thought of suing Ford, GM, or Toyota because the car didn’t stop for them.

There’s even an old case, about a man who set his RV’s cruise control and went to make coffee in the back. The vehicle, unsurprisingly, crashed. It wasn’t a product defect; it was human stupidity. Everyone understood that. We knew technology was a tool that required judgment.

Fast forward to today, and suddenly people act as if that principle no longer applies. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature clearly says it requires driver supervision. The message literally pops up on the screen: you must keep your hands on the wheel and be ready to take over at any time. The word “supervised” isn’t marketing—it’s the key distinction. The car assists, it doesn’t replace.

Yet some people ignore warnings, look away from the road, fail to intervene, and then blame the system when things go wrong. That’s no different than setting old-school cruise control and assuming the car will handle everything. The same logic that applied in 1975 applies now: if you aren’t paying attention and something happens, that’s on you.

Courts have always recognized this. When accidents occur with standard or adaptive cruise control, the driver remains responsible unless there’s a proven mechanical defect. The legal duty of care hasn’t changed just because the technology is more advanced. FSD (Supervised) simply handles more of the workload—but it still expects a human to monitor.

What’s really happening is that people are confusing assistance with autonomy. They want to believe the car drives itself, even when it explicitly tells them it doesn’t. When they ignore that and cause a crash, it becomes easier to sue than to admit negligence. But that doesn’t make the system unsafe; it exposes how complacent some drivers have become.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is an incredible step forward. It’s not magic, but it’s remarkably good when used as directed. If someone can’t handle the simple task of paying attention while a car does most of the work, the problem isn’t the car—it’s the driver. We didn’t sue over “unsafe cruise control” in the 1980s, and we shouldn’t be pretending we’re innocent passengers today.

Technology has evolved. Responsibility hasn’t.

Myth: Charters aren't accountable.
Charter schools face even more accountability than traditional public schools.
Charter schools are monitored by authorizers, required to meet state standards, and evaluated regularly.
No results? No renewal. That’s serious accountability.

[Fordham Institute @educationgadfly]

Indiana just made it easier to open new schools. 🏫

A short clause in a 37-page bill says all schools—public, charter, or private—are a permitted use in every zoning district.
