Isn’t the whole purpose of it to make you walk ? They even added speed limits to prevent cheating distance by driving.

The phone manufacturer bears the most responsibility. If it wasn't Pokemon Go, it would be TikTok or Snapchat. Instead of having every single app implement some kind of restriction, cut it off at the root. If Android and iOS disabled any phone screen moving faster than 5mph, a lot of deaths would have been prevented at the cost of a few people unable to text on their Uber ride.

People simply cannot not look at their phone while they're driving. We've had ample time to learn this lesson and do something about it. We haven't done anything about it except pass ineffectual phone-use laws and some very ineffectual software nags. I suppose there's a lot of money invested in people using their phones while riding or driving.

Consequently, I know a lot of people who have been seriously injured or killed.

It tries to dis-engage when it detects the phone moving faster than walking speed. But it is not perfect.
