Yeah, I get Chopin's A-dur Andantino fed to me every-single-time I plug in the USB in my Volvo.
The car known to be safe becomes not so safe after I hear it and start frantically tapping on the screen to get to my Recently Played playlist instead. Siri should know that by now, but no, Chopin is exactly what I need in my car. Sheesh...
this seems ok..
By the time self driving cars come in, all this "niffy features to prevent distraction" will be useless, since the car controls itself... u just sit back, with your feet on the peddles, and everyone will be able to do everything with their phone, they previously needed this features for

Actually it does. May be part of ios 9, but I thought it was available in earlier versions. Anyway, when you set up a calendar appointment, one of the alert options is to set it for "Time to Leave."
From the way you ask I'd guess Apple? But what is so special about this policy? Obviously Apple has to collect location data to provide location services.
But anyway, that's besides the point. I am under no illusion that Apple is any better or "morally superior" to Google or MS. But the technical approach does matter. Google and MS (since Windows 10) pull as much of the user's personal information into the cloud as they can. Apple apparently tries to do as much of the processing as possible locally on the device (if you can believe their statements at the iOS 9 presentation). I much prefer the latter approach as it minimizes the amount of data that will leak into the cloud. I don't trust privacy policies. They are typically full of loopholes and can be changed at any time (just look at the drastic changes Microsoft made to its privacy policy along with the release of Windows 10). Personal information that isn't collected in the first place cannot be stolen, abused or misused.
Every morning when I plug in my headphones, it opens up the music app. Simple enough.
Proactive also noticed I walked in to a Starbucks and opened up the app so I could pay. It was a nice gesture and I'm looking forward to seeing other proactive features

It told me the other day i had to leave in order to get to my destination in time. The idea is really good, but i am not driving. Nobody in any bigger cities are. They need to make it cycling/walking friendly.
google maps always displays that my arrival time will be sooner. i don't compare the routes, but that number keeps me using google, even though it could just be a little too optimistic
this is my nightmare. i have one song on my phone and i use spotify for everything else. i usually only plug in for podcasts or gps, but as soon as i do, that one song starts playing. and i hate the song
This is one of the things I am looking forward to! Here is hoping that it is not neutered or severely lacking when it is released. If it can't do the basic items like what is mentioned
This is one of the big things I am hoping for! That is super cool!

Just disable the "Suggested Apps" feature in "Handoff & Suggested Apps" and you're good.
I've gotten around this, though, by adding a song to my library that is called "A1 - Silence" and is 60 seconds of silence giving me enough time to change it to something else.
