Hard Wire From Radio To E-Brake?

The new radio my son gave me today for Christmas has a safety feature on it I have never heard of before. It requires a wire to be ran to the emergency brake from the radio so that you can't watch videos as you're driving down the road. I have never heard of such a thing. He is having his cousins Baton Rouge stereo shop install it.
How long has this safety feature been around? This is my 1st radio with a screen that does everything for you. Yeah, I'm somewhat old fashion and never heard of such a feature. I'm sure there are many here that have heard of this feature, right? Can anyone explain to me if I will have to buy anything special for this?
Thank You.
I have an Alpine nav unit from ~2011 and it has all these interlocks as well.
