It's a car thing.
That's the name of Spotify's first voice-controlled plug-in smart device: Car Thing. In a blog post Friday,The Impotent King (2005) in English Subtitles the music streaming company said the device would play music and podcasts for a "small group" of invited Spotify Premium users in the U.S.
Spotify said it could also be joined by devices called Voice Thing and Home Thing. A company spokesperson wouldn't elaborate beyond the blog post.

Last year, word spread about a device that sounds similar, but it never materialized -- until now.
Spotify said the device is just for testing purposes and that its streaming audio platform is its main focus -- not hardware. That's probably a good call. Spotify faces a lot of competition when it comes to car audio.
Google and Apple have infotainment systems that sync with users' phones, Google recently announced "drive mode" for Android smartphones and third-party plug-in devices, and Amazon just unveiled Echo Auto.
A market research firm released findings last month that predict 20 million cars will have a voice assistant built into the vehicle by 2023.
