Another step towards this war is the Bluetooth connection in my wife's car. As a passenger, I cannot connect my phone to play music, directions, or make calls unless the car is in park, because "This function is not available while moving". And I hate it. We don't want to sit and wait to set off while its 8-year-old Bluetooth hardware pairs, we want to get going and let the navigator do the navigating.

Fortunately, this contrasts with the Waze navigation app's message box which actually detects motion using the GPS, and displays "Typing is disabled while driving - OK / Passenger"
