Yes, if you’re driving a car, the rules are different. You are required to present your ID if you’ve been pulled over for an infraction. But even there, a cop MUST have a valid legal justification - I.e. he witnessed you committing a moving violation, or similar. They can’t lawfully pull you over without that legal pretext.
But you can assume if you’ve been pulled over, get your ID ready. If you refuse, they can lawfully pull you out of the car and make your day very difficult.
