An attempt was made to avoid the records jumping by making the automobile turntable run at 16 2/3 rpm. Needless to say, relatively few of those slow records were made and record players for cars just did not catch on. Think about the distraction of dialing a cel-phone, and compare that to changing a record on the fly.
