I think it's a cool idea

Soon, Apple will introduce a new iPhone feature that will do away with that annoying -- and dangerous -- urge to look at a text message while you're driving.
The feature, called "Do Not Disturb While Driving," will be part of Apple's iOS 11, a new version of the operating software for Apple mobile devices.
Whenever the phone is connected to a car using either Bluetooth or a cable, or if the car is moving, the phone will withhold any notifications for things like text messages or news updates.
If someone does text you while you're driving, the phone can respond with an automatic message telling them you're driving and can't respond just now.

The iPhone screen will also be locked to prevent drivers from using many of their apps while driving. Passengers who are just riding, and not driving, will have the ability to disable the feature.
Users will be able to see Apple Maps, Apple's navigation application, while driving -- though they will be unable to input destinations. Other navigation apps, like Google Maps, will also work, although not quite as easily.

Soon, iPhones will block texts while driving - Jun. 5, 2017

I guess I am missing what is so revolutionary about this.

Phones have had "do not disturb" features for years.

"Whenever the phone is connected to a car using either Bluetooth or a cable, or if the car is moving, the phone will withhold any notifications for things ..."

That is the difference I guess ... Requires no user input to be activated. How that will affect you when walking in a store for example IDK

its on apple product, it must be revolutionary . duh

How the phone could make a difference between the driver and the passengers ???

You are missing the use for this feature.

For Parents with Kids I can lock that feature turned on, so they aren't texting while driving.

Duh...it will have the new neural network connector which will be activated by the recently announced implantable connector which will be located at the base of the neck and will synch with the Apple watch which will sync with iPhone 8 so when you are thinking of using the phone while driving your neural network security feature will prevent the use of the phone.

Good point :thumbsup
