It's not clear if the new deal will stand alongside Uber's existing tight integration with Spotify, or if one audio service is being elbowed-out in favor of another. One thing that does matter is that, so long as you've signed up to Pandora, you'll get the control -- which is currently only available to Spotify Premium customers. Maybe the internet radio service is positioning itself as a friendlier, lower-level tier for those people who aren't sure they need to spend more just to irritate their driver.

Update: We've learned that Spotify will remain an option for users, Pandora's just now been invited to the party.
