Even better is Pandora. I switched to Apple Music mostly because my car forced me to use some shitshow built in Pandora mode that works poorly and locks out the Pandora interface on the phone!

I hate driving and fill the navigator/DJ role in the car. Assuming I’m driving in a 7 passenger car is dumb.

That is another good point - having a passenger. Our Toyota has safety features prevent bringing up a keyboard (mainly for the gps to search for new locations while driving). The car needs to be stopped. For a solo driver this makes sense ... but I know my local area ... the only time I ever need this is when I'm on a roadtrip and usually the passenger is the one making the change. I want _more_ powerful interfaces and touch is fine for a passenger coordinating with the driver, even though a physical interface for the driver with better integration into apps would work better for that use case. One-size doesn't fit all.
