Why not just enable voice prompts? How is this better?

Hi, my son just got his driver's license and I'm having him set up voice control in both Spotify and Google Assistant. I figure once they're customized he won't ever need to take his eyes off the road. But I stumbled across Drive Thing in Spotify's settings and I'm curious what its advantages are. I can't really see any as far as safety, am I missing something? Thanks!

Hey @EKM_19,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

Congrats to your son and many miles of safe driving 🙂 If you're referring to the Car Thing section in the settings, it's dedicated to our audio player device, that is especially designed for safe listening music in a vehicle on the road. Check out more about it on it's own page here.  Also some more tips and alternatives about using Spotify inside the car can be read here. 

Hope you find this useful. Keep us posted if you have any questions.
