Spotify’s “Car Thing,” its voice-enabled in-car device for controlling music, is now available to any US user who signs up to be on the waitlist. However, Car Thing will first be available to the users who signed up for the waitlist in April. The device can be mounted in the car and has touch, voice (“Hey Spotify”), and physical controls that listeners can use to access their favorite Spotify content.

Now, the companies that create and control content are also exploring how their own products might provide more personalized and superior experiences directly to their customers.
