Does a Galaxy S9 have driving mode?

I just saw that I can buy a brand new Galaxy S9 at Boost Mobile for $1 a month over two years. It seemed like a steal since I use Boost anyways. I know the phone is a bit outdated, so I just want to make sure it has drive mode so I’m not tempted to check my phone behind the wheel. Will my new Galaxy S9 have driving mode?

for being on your phone, don’t worry. A Galaxy S9 has driving mode that you can turn off and on at your leisure.
To turn the Galaxy S9’s driving mode off or on, follow these steps:
  1. Open Google Maps.
  2. Click on the photo icon (usually a picture or avatar of you) in the top right corner.
