Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Considering that driving with the distraction of a screen can be dangerous, why not allow moonlight to function on the car screen only when the vehicle is stopped? I have a PS4 controller and for personal reasons, I sometimes have to wait in the car for 1-2 hours, and this would be very useful.

Describe the solution you'd like

I insist that driving while distracted is dangerous, but I know it is possible to implement a control in case of vehicle movement or when the handbrake is engaged. Personally, I might often take advantage of this feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Imagine you and a friend in a car, McDonald's, two joysticks, and a good audio system (if you have it).

Research direction

The issue requests Android Auto support for using Moonlight on a vehicle screen while stopped. No files, tests, or entry points are named; first determine the existing Android display and input integration points. Done would require an agreed Android Auto design and verified behavior that restricts use while the vehicle is moving.
