Yeah. In some cases the internal combustion engine has been taken away.

Returning to everyone’s favourite distraction, mobile phone use, the Australian state of New South Wales is rolling out cameras to detect illegal use of mobiles by drivers. That detection will be backed by stiff penalties. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-22/m...r/11536664

Why bother when you can get gloves with touch sensitive finger tips that can drive a smart phone? Look out soccer mums, I say!
