question: How does Spotify know when i'm driving (car mode auto enabled), versus when i'm just a passenger in a car (no car mode).
comment: If you're using Bluetooth then that could be a way it knows. iPhones know to turn on DND while driving when you connect to a car stereo. I'd imagine it's similar to that
passages: In June 2015, the Metromile Tag was introduced to give non-insurance customers a way to also use the driving app. The Tag wirelessly connects to smartphones via Apple iBeacon technology.
  
  Section::::History.
   In January 2016, Spotify and music annotation service Genius formed a partnership, bringing annotation information from Genius into infocards presented while songs are playing in Spotify. The functionality is limited to selected playlists and was only available on Spotify's iOS app at launch, being expanded to the Android app in April 2017.
   In October 2018, Garmin announced it has integrated Spotify to its Garmin Fenux 5 Plus and Garmin Forerunner 645 Music GPS sports watch. Garmin was the second smartwatch maker to do so, after Spotify was exclusive to Samsung smartwatches since 2016 
  
  Section::::Maps.
   In March 2017, Spotify announced its partnership with Waze to give an integrated experience where Wazers could play music on Spotify directly from Waze app and get Waze directions on Spotify app on the Android platform. Six months later, the feature was made available on the iOS platform. In May 2017, Waze introduced the ability for users to record their own voice navigation prompts.
  
  In August 2018, Waze introduced Android Auto support. In September 2018, Waze introduced Apple CarPlay support after Apple released iOS 12.
   According to the Carma Terms of service, proceeds of the rider(s) payment (consisting of fixed charge per trip and a variable per mile fee) is split between the driver (85%) and the company (15%).
  
  Section::::Product areas.:Smartphone App.
   The application can be download through Apple Store or Google Play. Both rider and driver members have the same application and need to create an account while providing a valid phone number and a payment method, whether in fiat money or in crypto-currencies. However, driver members must be approved in respect to local regulation.
   In January 2019, Spotify introduced Car View for Android, allowing devices running Android to have a compact Now Playing screen when the device is connected to a car 's Bluetooth. Also in January 2019, Spotify beta-tested its Canvas feature, where artists and/or labels can upload looping 3 to 8-second moving visuals to their tracks, replacing album covers in the "Now Playing" view; users have the option to turn off this feature. Canvas is only available for Spotify's iOS and Android mobile apps.
  
  Section::::Platforms.:Features.:Playlists and discovery.
   ITS Platform consists of a mobile unit in a car and an ITS server. The mobile unit, called the InnBox, collects information about things like the driver’s position, speed, and acceleration. The collected information is sent to the server, where it will be retained and re-sent to the drivers, who thus receives targeted and individual traffic information both during and after their driving.
  
  Section::::Concept.:Applications.
   Every Wingz driver has a unique driver “code” that can be added to a rider’s “Favorite Drivers List” online or through the app. Each time a user requests a ride, their Favorite Driver receives the first opportunity to accept the ride—and so on down the list—until somebody is able to provide the trip. If none of a user’s favorite drivers are available, the request is distributed to the standard pool of drivers.
  
  Section::::How it Works.:Pricing and payments.
   Once a driver has accepted the request, the rider is able to view the driver's profile, including photo, the make and model of their car, license plate, and rating. Fasten rates drivers on a percentage scale, with riders giving drivers either thumbs up or down after each ride. Riders also see an estimated time until the driver arrives, with the driver's real-time position being shown on the map.
   Section::::Automotive services.:Here MapCare.
  
  Here MapCare was first implemented with Volvo vehicles in 2009 and has since spread to at least 23 other manufacturers (such as Hyundai, Mazda and Mitsubishi) utilising Here maps data in their infotainment systems. Here map data is updated for around a period of three years from the date of purchase of the vehicle and is performed at the time of service from the car dealer. There is also the option of updating maps data via USB memory stick or memory card.

   Section::::Mobile phone usage.:Adaptive streaming inside a LAN or to a mobile phone.
  
  Orb will detect the type of device being used, and adapt the stream according to your player availability and the network quality.
  
  For example, on the Nokia N80, Orb will use the native web browser and RealPlayer
   Section::::Inventions.:VP: Virtual Passenger/ "Call Me Out".
  
  In early 2017, Deans started working with McCann Erickson and Chevrolet to create a new technology, VP, to stop teens from texting and driving. VP (Virtual Passenger) brings celebrities and friends into the automobile via Chevrolet's existing MyLink onboard system when the driver receives a text. The system can analyze driving and texting habits using this technology. Virtual Passenger debuted at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2017. The technology was renamed to "Call Me Out" prior to release in August 2018.
  
  Section::::Recognition.
   Metromile also uses an OBDII-based system for their mileage-based insurance. They offer a true pay-per-mile insurance where behavior or driving style is not taken into account, and the user only pays a base rate along with a fixed rate per mile. The OBD-II device measures mileage and then transmits mileage data to servers. This is supposed to be an affordable car insurance policy for low-mileage drivers. Metromile is currently only offering personal car insurance policies and is available in California, Oregon, Washington, and Illinois.

   Gracenote Auto puts Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology into the car's audio system to identify music playing from various sources including AM/FM and satellite radio, CDs or streaming services and deliver relevant metadata and cover art. In December 2015, Gracenote launched its first audio technology, Gracenote Dynamic EQ, designed to help automakers and OEMs automatically tune connected car audio systems to the optimal equalizer settings for individual songs based on genre, mood and release date.
   Section::::User input/privacy with software data.:Hardware.:Government policies about recording.
  
  According to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, there are policies regarding recording audio conversations, including clarifications about the "one-party consent" rule that comes with it. Regarding audio conversations, it is illegal to record a conversation for which one is not partaking in. However, they are allowed to record if they are a member of the conversation themselves, without having to receive consent from the other party or having to let them know there is recording happening.
  
  Section::::Concerns.
  
  Section::::Concerns.:The potential abuse of location-tracking.
   SKD has used ModeMapping to drive product lines for companies including Johnson Controls and Avery Dennison. For example, for Johnson Controls, SKD found that the drivers they observed all made quick, frequent transitions from role to role (parent at school, friend meeting peers at a restaurant) throughout the day. Seeing this pattern led the designers to suggest products such as a modular storage system that can easily be loaded into a vehicle and a reminder system (using RFID tags) that would alert drivers when important items (say, kids' sports equipment before a game) wasn’t brought into the car.
   BULLET::::- Recent addresses that have been set as either pick-up or drop-off locations are in kept in the search history.
  
  BULLET::::- Letting the app connect to personal data that is stored in the phone, such as access to contacts, can let the app access more than just phone numbers (addresses, personal information) which have been stored under the contact in the phone.
  
  Section::::User input/privacy with software data.:Software.:Uber Privacy.
  
  Uber has an option where user privacy can potentially be forgotten and they are aware of what data they are collecting from the user and are being transparent:
   When joining an offline/online session players can adjust their car through a setup interface. Depending on the car this includes gear ratios, tyre compounds, tyre pressures, fuel, suspension settings like anti-roll bars, wheel rates, ride height, packer rates, travel range, damper settings like bump stops and rebounds, heave dampers, alignment setting, drivetrain settings for differential lock and preload, hybrid settings, adjustments to the wings, brake bias, brake power, engine limiter, etc. Assists like traction control and ABS, turbo boost, KERS, ERS and engine brake settings and brake bias can be adjusted on the fly through hot-keys.
   The 2016 Malibu features a first for the automotive industry, a teen driver feature, which allows parents to view their kids' driving statistics, such as maximum speed, warning alerts and more. To operate the vehicle a parent enables the feature with a PIN in the settings menu of the Malibu's MyLink system, which allows them to register their teen's key fob. The system's settings are turned on only to registered key fobs. This technology also mutes the radio until the seat belts are buckled. The 2016 Malibu comes equipped with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Capability features. However, only one of their phone brands at any one time can be used.
   In May 2017, Spotify introduced Spotify Codes for its mobile apps, a way for users to share specific artists, tracks, playlists or albums with other people. Users find the relevant content to share and press a "soundwave-like barcode" on the display. A camera icon in the apps' search fields lets other users point their device's camera at the code, which takes them to the same content.
   A growing add-on category for the series is AI (artificial intelligence) traffic. AI traffic is the simulation of other vehicles in the "FS" landscape. This traffic plays an important role in the simulator, as it is possible to crash into traffic (this can be disabled), thus ending your session, and to interact with the traffic via the radio and ATC. This feature is active even with third-party traffic. Microsoft introduced AI traffic in MSFS 2002 with several airliners and private aircraft. This has since been supplemented with many files created by third-party developers. Typically, third-party aircraft models have multiple levels of detail, which allow the AI traffic to be better on frame rates, while still being detailed during close looks. There are several prominent freeware developers. Some third-party AI traffic can even be configured for "real time" departures.
   Starting in January 2017, eharmony users could see why they are considered compatible with a feature called "The Two Of You Together". They will be able to see the matches who score at an advanced level of compatibility and also why.

   BULLET::::- My Car Account on the LINE app- The LINE App may also be used by customers with their vehicle, in which they can converse with the vehicle by registring it as a friend on the app. For example, if a LINE account holder inputs a destination in the chat function with the "My Car Account," the destination will be sent to the on-board navigation system. It can provide information such as idealistic time of departure, distance to empty, and fuel efficiency, based on the time and distance to destination.
   Most apps have the payment charged and completed before a user can be connected to their ride. Users have the option to store credit card information for easy access instead of having to repeatedly input payment information. While there is an added level of security, such as passcode or touch ID before every transaction, this does not ensure the safety of this information in the app. It only ensures that the current transaction is made under the consent of the user.
