‘Pokemon GO’ reminds you not to catch Pokemon while driving

At this point, if you haven’t heard of Pokemon GO, we’d think you’re living under a rock. The extremely popular augmented reality game has gotten so much hype and an addicted fan base that aspiring trainers (what you call the players in the game) have been playing the game no matter what situation they’re in—even while driving. That’s why Pokemon GO’s creator Niantic has released a minor update to the game reminding us to not catch Pokemon while driving. A prompt will keep showing up on your phone that reminds you not to play while driving and you’ll have to tap on the “I’m a passenger” button to resume playing. Of course, someone who’s driving can easily just tap on the button and say that they’re the passenger even if they aren’t. But what Niantic has done in a previous update is improve its scanning technology so it’s less likely you’ll spot Pokemon while in a moving car than by foot.
