But it could be done without looking. Driving home, reach for phone in the other seat, unlock, go to your contact (you remember the phonebook position of your frequent contacts), choose send sms, type the message fairly quickly, send. This could all be done fast and reliable without one look, perhaps one last glance before sending to make sure it looks right.
Even easier to do that now. "Ok Google/Hey Siri send $contact $message" .
But I know, things are not all bad. I'm only a bit saddened by the disappearance of the reliable deterministic haptic-only control that older phones had.

Not just to save space. Typing with T9 was much more time-consuming that our autocomplete touch keyboards.
Are you sure you're not thinking of multi-tap on a keypad and not T9? Once you've learned T9 (the one where you tap a key a single time for each letter in the word and a lookup is made based on the combination). You can surely be faster than Qwerty. This was also the reason I developed https://typenineapp.com [1] for iPhone once they allowed custom keyboards. I am on average 20wpm faster (50wpm for english, 60wpm for…
In fact, T9 is one of the last few reasons why I only VERY recently got myself an iPhone. T9 is superior in almost every way to a full touch-based QWERTY when writing texts.
So, great idea and product, mate. This is a buy from me.
