Work with the insights team to ensure a strong shared understanding of the user behavior and context, quantitatively and qualitatively.
Partner with other teams across Spotify to understand opportunities, feasibility, and technical solutions for planning and refinement of your feature set. Partner with design to turn objectives into experiences. Drive feature refinement sessions towards a cross-functional team of insights, design, and engineering. Define and plan features towards product objectives and roadmap prioritization. 
Be responsible for a set of features, working closely with engineering, the product team - reporting to the product lead. Many vehicles made in the last decade also have some sort of media control on their steering wheels. If you've got a modern car with CarPlay or Android Auto support, you'll only be interacting with your in-dash display and will never see Car View in action. It could be that Spotify is de-prioritizing Car View simply because there are so many other ways to handle music playback in cars. And, to be fair, that's how many people (including myself) end up controlling tunes on the road. The moderator suggested using Google Assistant (or Siri on iOS) to control Spotify hands-free, something that would also work while navigating with Google or Apple Maps. 
Nifty! But hope you didn't get too attached, as Spotify has confirmed it's "retiring" the feature, according to a recent support thread ( via Android Police ).Ī Spotify moderator, who was replying to a user who noticed the feature had disappeared from his Android app, noted that Spotify is "actively exploring a variety of new ways to deliver the best in-car listening experience." They added that removing car view is necessary to "make way for new innovations." That's reasonable enough, though it doesn't excuse dumping a genuinely useful safety feature without a clear replacement. Instead, it gave you large buttons to pause and play music jump to the previous or next track or like a specific song. Whenever you connected to your car over Bluetooth, it would remove extraneous elements like menu buttons and album art.
When Spotify announced its stripped down Car View mode in 2019, it seemed like a smart way to prevent drivers from being distracted on the road.
