New Spotify feature to slow down drivers near school zones

Australian drivers in Queensland who use Spotify in the car will be part of the government's trial safety program, which plays motorists messages urging them to slow down when nearing the state’s school zones, Brisbane Times reports. The feature uses Spotify’s geo-targeting ability to track when drivers come within five kilometres of a school zone and plays them one of 10 specially adapted songs that contain a “slow down” message.
