Humane AI pin, Rabbit, Car Thing.

Why any of these companies think another piece of hardware doing nothing my phone can’t do will succeed is beyond me.

Some people prefer to use their car speakers over their phone speakers.

The device is designed to provide a nice and easy to use (when driving) touch interface for Spotify on old cars with only an aux port. Remember that few modern phones have 3,5 mm ports.

Have you seen those Bluetooth things that plug into the cigarette lighter? You can hook your phone up to older stereos with them. Pretty awesome and made my old truck better.
