But as I've been saying for a few years now, most people don't want to drive. They'd much rather be driven so they can mess with their phones.


I want to be driven because it's safer and usually more relaxing, even though I like to drive.

And I want my Bluetooth connection to work flawlessly but it never does.


Or the Bluetooth connection works, but does random things you can't change. The last rental car I had, upon connection, forced Spotify to re-open and start playing the last playlist. Even if Spotify was closed.

Some entertaining solutions I found online include a playlist that includes only silent tracks and switching to that playlist before you turn off the car, or canceling Spotify Premium so you can no longer download/cache songs, giving you enough time to mute before Spotify's cloud can stream the song to the car.


I want to drive. Just not to work (or the shops, or anywhere else on a daily basis).
