It either hears it and spotify plays with something way way off the beaten track of the search results
Or it says something like “you need to give access to gemini”, “you need a spotify premium account”, “you can adjust your settings in the gemini or android auto app”, “I don’t respond to that language, I am here to help if you require anything further”
My favorite is saying "send an SMS to [SO’s name]“ reading it correctly recognized on the display, only to be told “sorrry I can’t send SMS messages yet”, giving the exact same instruction again right after, and now I can send the SMS.
But when gemini installed itself and insisted that I use it instead, I got so pissed that it lasted for about 15km of my commute home, before I pulled over and got rid of it. Now I didn’t just have to fight speech recognition, now I had to argue with a glorified toaster about putting on music.
