<p>Earlier today Spotify announced that it’s currently testing a new device called Car Thing. It’s being developed to help the company continue its focus on becoming the ‘the world’s number one audio platform’. Spotify’s Car Thing is powered via a vehicle’s 12-volt outlet and will be primarily operated with voice.</p>
<p>Spotify is not the only company dabbling with bringing easier voice controls to cars. Amazon has been working on Echo Auto (https://amzn.to/2JNrA2b), an Alexa device developed solely with the car in mind. Anker has taken a stab at Alexa (https://9to5toys.com/2018/01/08/anker-alexa-poweriq-roav-viva/) and Google Assistant (https://9to5google.com/2019/04/24/anker-roav-bolt-review/) in the car with its Roav Viva (https://amzn.to/2HpkoYo) and Bolt (http://bit.ly/2Q6dwSv).</p>
