The Car Thing we first saw in 2019 is back – and it looks as though it’s undergone a significant design change.
Talk of an experimental car-based, Spotify-playing speaker has been circulating for several years now, but it seems as though the mystery gadget has been given a major design refresh – and might actually be going on sale soon. A new « Bluetooth Phone Accessory » has shown up in filings placed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US, a necessary step for new gadgets that need official approval to be marked as safe for use. Further into the documentation we get a description too: this is « a voice controlled accessory for phone/Spotify App with supporting display and buttons ». That sounds very much like the Car Thing that appeared back in 2019.
