> The question is, when is safety legislation going to be passed that prevents them from being used for any routine adjustments while driving.
We already have this exact legislation in the UK.

I've driven like 5 modern rental cars in the last year and none of them locked out the touch screen while driving, and most needed the touch screen to change the temperature controls
Physical controls were a must when getting a new car, but I find myself using voice a lot, especially in traffic.
Quite a lot of the safety features rely on the Android tablet embedded in the dash. When you restart it (long press home button) quite a worrying number of warnings pop up on the display behind the steering wheel!
It's also software implemented. The screen works, just the apps on it grey out buttons while in motion. You can e.g. switch to radio, change volume, but not search or set destination.
