Camera question - enable while driving?

[epereira]

Fairly new owner here so kindly excuse my ignorance (still learning what I can do and cannot do with my new baby).

While driving I cannot access the camera (the option is greyed out). Is this normal? I thought it said somewhere that the camera is accessible while driving? Is it only used for parking assist and while stopped (or getting close to an object)?

It would be very cool to have any of the cameras available on the main screen while driving, but I think they have disabled this capability as a safety precaution / distraction risk.

Note: The car itself is using the cameras extensively during any drive, its just not going to let the driver see what it sees.

It can be turned on while driving under 5mph. This is so you can use it to help you park. But once you go over that speed, it turns off.

Sometimes when exiting parking lots, when the car thinks it is going to hit parking poles the cameras come on (while < 5mph). Not reproducible everytime, but sometimes I am amazed by the camera on the screen while exiting my work parking structure (never hit any pole yet).

It would be nice when you turn on blinker if that camera for that side came on so as not to find an object in blind spot.

Thank you all for confirming.
