Actually a lot of people are saying so. The sleep-wake fade is going to cause car accidents. All those people that click home button to quickly look down and check new messages now have to take their eyes off the road for much longer while ios 7 gets around to fading in the screen. apart from the timestamps on messages, I can't find a single new feature. The stupid instagram mode in the camera app (square and real-time filters) is dumb. I can use instagram if I want my photos to all look like crap. The photos summarize mode is totally useless, it's great for demos, but not actually useful, I've had siri off since day 1 so I don't know if that works any better. And as for the flying icons on unlock, the fact that you can't turn it off is inexcusable. Basically ios7 is just a theme. It's not a new version. If Apple want to introduce new themes then I'm all for that, but give me more than one every two years. How about actual features that are useful, Apple? I still can't use the music app and search for a song, sure I can use spotlight, but it searches everything, not just music. and such glaring design flaws like the tumblr shows, and plenty I could add, like swipe down control center and switch off bluetooth by mistake half the time. Or swipe from center down to get spotlight? WTF! edit: correction, I found one useful feature, block telemarketers! That's worth the update, even if the rest of the update is guff.

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.

    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.

You are not supposed to use your phone while driving. Not even looking at it. You are putting yourself and others in danger. If you REALLY must use your phone because you can't resist living without it for more than 10 minutes then hold the home button and ask Siri to read you your messages. That's what Siri is really made for.
