Spotify's first piece of hardware is a voice assistant for your car

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 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.
