Does Go Plus work while driving?

Yes, the Pokémon Go Plus (and Plus+) can work while driving, but it's unreliable and not recommended by Niantic due to safety concerns; it often misses PokéStops and Pokémon due to speed limits (around 30-35 MPH), prioritizes catching over spinning, and can be inconsistent, though it functions best at slower speeds or with the app in the background, allowing for some auto-collection of stops and nearby spawns.
