Hello Jasongo173,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Your driving focus may be turning on automatically. These steps should help:


"Turn on the Driving Focus automatically 

  1. Go to Settings > Focus, then tap Driving.
  2. Tap While Driving under Turn on Automatically, then select one of these options: 
    • Automatically: Driving will be activated based on detected motion.
    • When Connected to Car Bluetooth: Driving will be activated when your iPhone is connected to car Bluetooth devices.
    • Manually: Driving can be activated manually from Control Center.
    • Activate With CarPlay: Driving will be activated automatically when your iPhone is connected to CarPlay."


More details can be found here: Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Are you connecting to the cars Bluetooth or CarPlay as a passenger? Also, which iPhone and iOS version are you currently using?


Cheers!
