The mobile device in the driver quadrant can also be narrowed down and/or identified without any activity manually being generated by the mobile device. For instance, by detecting patterns in the cellular signal generated by the mobile device in the driver quadrant, the model of the mobile device can be determined—which can further aid in identifying the mobile device. The method for detecting patterns within the cellular signal uses all methods known in the art, including neural networks and other AI methods. In addition to detecting patterns, signals can be generated by the carrier network and then detected locally within the driver quadrant. An example would be for the cellular network to send information to each mobile device within the vehicle and potentially within the driver quadrant of the vehicle. The control device would then match the generated signal with the appropriate mobile device.
