Spotify Connect now dead - bring back Car Mode?

In light of the recent, unannounced, removal of Spotify Connect functionality as discussed here, which has left loads of people high and dry:

 

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Connection-issues-with-car-stereo-receivers/idi-p/53...

 

Will "Car Mode" now be re-enabled on the app, so that the use of basic bluetooth streaming is both safe and legal to do whilst driving; which is the only option now available for those of us that do not have android auto as an option in our vehicles -and the only thing the manufacturers of car audio equipment are advising people in light of this surprise major downgrade to all their currently on sale car audio headunits?

 

It made some kind of sense that as car stereos had quite often taken on board Spotify Connect as a means of browsing playlists, etc, using their equipment, that car mode would be removed - now you've done away with Spotify Connect as well, it would make a great deal of sense - and perhaps appease those users who feel utterly let down by Spotify's recent actions - if this feature on the app could be reinstated.

 

Please can someone confirm if this will happen? Or are Spotify going to continue their agenda of pushing their own "car thing" currently unavailable anywhere other than the US - again, stiffing everyone else worldwide?

 

I can't seem to set a voting option, but that might be useful here?
