So all passengers in any vehicle can't use their phones? That'll be wildly unpopular.

I have a love hate relationship with my husbands car because of this type of "feature". Love that its a 2012 with no online connectivity or tablet displays of any kind. Hate that i, as the passenger, cant connect a device via bluetooth or change other media related settings if its in drive, only while its in park. Youd think that "feature" would disable when it detects a passenger, but no, i guess the passenger is driving just as much as the driver themselves.
