You’ll find your playback controls in the upper half of the interface while the bottom half is devoted to suggestions that you can easily swipe through. While in Car Mode, Alexa can be triggered by either hitting a dedicated button found in the bottom-right corner or by using a voice command such as “Hey Alexa, play Queen” or similar.
Similar to Spotify’s Own Car Mode
If the feature sounds like a similar in-car mode that Spotify’s mobile app gained in 2019, that’s because it is—both apps rely on a simplified user interface to promote safe driving.
Of course, this feature probably won’t matter much to people who already use Google’s Android Auto or Apple’s CarPlay infotainment software. Both Google Auto and CarPlay are well-optimized for distraction-less driving and they come with support for popular third-party music-streaming services.
