A driver can listen to music stored on their cell phone or electronic device, but they would be barred from using online radio programs such as Spotify or Pandora in their vehicle.

I hope the article is mistaken. That's all I listen to. Modern cars allows for Bluetooth control of the music player controls, like fast forward, etc. The app is controllable through car buttons on steering wheel, etc. This sounds like a huge gotcha game.
