My Moto X actually attempts to figure out if you're driving, and it is capable of reading texts aloud and it even allows for reply-by-voice.

My jaw hit the floor the first time it went off. My jaw also hit the floor when it read a rather private message while I was a _passenger_ in someone else's car.

It doesn't just blurt the message out, it tells you who it's from and asks if you want to hear it. At least that's how my Moto X works.

Example:

(Phone): New text message from John Smith. Would you like to hear it? (You): Yes. (Phone): "Bla bla text message contents here"

(Phone): New text message from <Name of Your Secret Paramour>. Would you like to hear it?

(Your Spouse): Yes.

(Your Coworkers): Yes

I think the moto x is an awesome phone but this is indeed a problem :)
