If you are operating your phone whilst driving then you deserve to crash.

And on your points. Yes you can search in Music, pull the list down and the search bar appears. Filters are useless sure but I don't remember Apple forcing you to use them. And I have not once hit the Bluetooth button whilst swiping control centre so it might be just a personal thing.

Does the same apply to the radio?

Car radios are generally designed so they can be used without having to look at them. Sure they have displays, but they almost always have a tactile design that allows them to be operated by touch and sound without having to take your eyes off the road.

Smartphones however cannot generally be operated with much precision without having to occasionally look at them, which is why they are becoming increasingly illegal to use while driving. But to your question, I would say no: the same does not apply to most car radios.
