Spotify Pulls Plug on Car View Feature, Offers Users No Alternative - Gizmodo
Nov 28, 2021 55 secs

In Spotify’s October reply on its forums, which addressed a question from a user who couldn’t access Car View, the company’s moderator said that it was “exploring a variety of new ways to deliver the best in-car listening experience.” Until then, though, folks that used Car View hoping for a similar feature or replacement from the company are out of luck.

Although Spotify didn’t offer alternatives for Car View, one of the company’s moderators suggested that users use Google Assistant for hands-free music control.

However, as the Verge notes, the Google Maps solution doesn’t really help users who were hoping for something with big control buttons like Car View (Google Map’s playback controls are small than in Spotify’s now-dead feature).

Many Spotify users that commented on the community forum post were angry that the company had pulled a feature without offering a replacement first and saw the move as a blatant attempt to push Car Thing on consumers, its $80 smart device player designed specifically for cars that’s only available for preorder in the U.S.
