I Got Rejected by Apple Music… So I Redesigned It

I wonder how many deaths have been caused by people fumbling around in Apple Music&#x27;s interface on their mobile device while driving. It&#x27;s a sad but true reality (at least in my life) that I like to listen to music while I&#x27;m driving. Sometimes I want to hear something really specific, and having lost confidence in Siri to to play the right thing the first time every time (and not cut me off in the middle of what I&#x27;m saying, or ask about searching the web for something), I&#x27;ve opted to navigate the interface one handed while glancing back and forth between the road and it. I know its a bad decision to do this, no matter the interface in question, and ultimately my own responsibility... but that said, I just wonder if there was a driving mode that made it really easy to select an artist&#x2F;album&#x2F;song one handed with minimal button sniping or wondering why or how to turn on&#x2F;off shuffle or other buried features, if it would save lives.<p>Ultimately, I just want CarPlay on my phone so that I don&#x27;t have to rely on whether or not the specific model vehicle I am in has it, but in its absence, I wish Apple would make a &quot;simple&quot; mode where all the selections are large buttons and nothing is too buried. Is that so much to ask?
