I have been on the public beta pretty much since it began, and one of the features I was looking forward to was do not disturb while driving. It's very easy to become distracted by notifications, especially when they're on your wrist.

So I enabled the feature and set it to automatic, but it hasn't worked, all the way up to the iOS 11 GM. I'm not getting notifications on my phone, but I am on my watch, as well as phone calls and texts etc. I thought maybe once watch OS 4 goes live it will solve the issue, but it hasn't. I can't seem to find anyone else online having this issue, so I have a feeling my case isn't widespread.

This is really dissapointing. I'm running an iPhone 6S with an Apple Watch series 0.
 
Go to the Apple Watch app on iPhone>General>do not disturb>Mirror iPhone. I installed the gm on my iPhone 6 plus and my watch was on os3 and it worked.

This is already on, doesn't make a difference. I will try disabling it and reenabling it on my drive home tonight but I don't think it's gonna make a difference.
