Cheap Auto Insurance, Nissan armrest puts your smartphone in a cone of silence
Nissan’s solution for distracting smartphones is called Signal Shield. At its simplest, it’s a Faraday cage built inside a Juke’s armrest, and when you place your smartphone in the compartment and close the lid, any cellular, Bluetooth or wifi electromagnetic signals are blocked. It’s not exactly groundbreaking technology as it was first invented in the 1830s, but it’s effective. And when the lid is opened, the phone will resume working normally. Music stored on the phone can still be accessed via USB connection, so it’s not completely bricked by the trick armrest.
