Spotify has released its first fully native in-car application built on Android Automotive OS, beginning with select Audi models across 47 markets. Unlike Android Auto which requires a phone connection, this native app runs directly on the vehicle's infotainment system, enabling music playback without smartphone connectivity and supporting features like Spotify Jam, DJ mode, music videos, real-time lyrics, and voice controls. Additional automakers are expected to adopt the app in the coming year.
