Absolutely not. These "restrictive" vehicle systems are horrible, for the simple fact that they don't distinguish between driver and passenger. Being in some more modern vehicles which do exactly as you say is infuriating when you have to ask your passenger -- instead of pulling up the GPS turn-by-turn on the large in-dash screen -- to instead pull out the iPhone 5 because the nav won't let you set a waypoint while you're in "drive". Artificially restricting controls only results in a user bypassing those controls in some way, which could do more harm than good (e.g. forcing you use your phone instead).
