This is an annoying misfeature because it doesn’t allow the passenger to manipulate the touchscreen either. I hit this all the time. We get started with my wife driving and I want to input the address or browse to some music but NOPE you need to be fully stopped for even the passenger to do anything. Thoroughly stupid.

Every new car has a sensor in the passenger seat to turn on the passenger airbag when it's occupied. It would be no issue to also turn on the touchscreen.
