Spotify built a limited release of Car Thing to explore the possibilities in automotive environments, test user interfaces and voice commands for music engine applications - which are known to be one of the largest challenges for voice control, since they fully require connectivity of the queries to the cloud - and effectively send a message to the industry about the evolution of its streaming platform. Four preset buttons give the user shortcuts to favorite artists, playlists, stations, and podcasts. All using a dedicated player with a large dial to browse, select, play, pause and discover music, with the Car Thing touchscreen display showing what’s playing, what’s coming, and allowing users to swipe to get to it.

And without depending upon Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, users can just say “Hey Spotify” to ask for a song, album, artist, playlist, station, or podcast.

With Car Thing, Spotify users have a dedicated solution for their cars, making it easy to expand their streaming experiences from the home and work.
