Whether or not this is innovation is up to you to decide. Steer Safe is based on the idea that using your mobile device while driving can be safer, its basically a dock that is attached to the top of your steering wheel. By doing so, the designers believe driving will be safer as you'll be able to keep your eyes on the road and won't need to look towards either side to stare at your sat nav or find out who's calling you while you're busy driving.

The Steer Safe dock will universally fit almost any device shaped like a mobile phone ie iOS devices, BlackBerries, Android smartphones as well as mp3 players.

As you can see in the video below, it also lets you rotate your device onto landscape mode in case you need it for turn by turn navigation. The good thing is I suppose its not very obstructive and it won't hit your knees when you turn, but many will probably take abit of time to get used to as most of us aren't used to having something stuck in the top-center of our wheel.
