@Thortok2000 I hear what you’re saying, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it so clearly. Listening while driving should feel effortless, and it’s completely fair to want variety without needing to constantly interact with the app.
Right now, Pandora’s variety is largely shaped by listener feedback like thumb ratings. Without that input, it tends to stay closer to what it already knows, which can lead to more repetition than you’re looking for. I understand that’s not the experience you want, especially when you can’t safely engage with the app.
What you’re describing, consistent built in variety without ongoing interaction, is a very valid request. While that’s not something currently supported, I recommend creating a new thread in our Ideas space if you'd like to see something like that implemented to Pandora.
We appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience, it’s helpful for us to hear.
