1) They did a great job with "CYA" feature. It's useful without feeling too invasive. So much so that I haven't seen fit to disable it.
2) (Apologizes if this was talked about in the video since I have volume right now and there's no CC so I was going only by the video: In the Bluetooth setting under Do Not Disturb you can have it set to enable when it's connected to your car's BT. Even if you're still in the driveway, before ever putting it in park the message will appear. I'm curious how it knows which BT devices are your car since my iPhone is almost always connected to some BT device. Is there a "automobile" bit with the BT ID or do they have to keep a local DB of all the MAC addresses that are used by automobiles?
One thing I've not seen yet about the Do Not Disturb While Driving functionality is whether like the original Do Not Disturb it only really applies when the phone is locked.
How does it work if you are driving with the phone unlocked running a navigation app for example - do notifications and phone calls still come through?
So, while in DND while Driving mode, would the phone still alert you to directions, if you have a route set in map for navigation or will it stop those as well ? I'm hoping it would still route directions through and Mao but have the ability to lock out everything else
Thanks
