Well... funny you should bring this up.  My wife (Linda) and I were just
in Walmart buying everything but what we came for.  We happened by a 
display which something similar to what you were describing except
that it wasn't actually for car use, but for like when you go walking
or whatever.  It was a bottle stuck in a bag that had a sprayer attached
and operated on batteries.  I though out loud that this was kinda stupid
as you only need to spray yourself a few times and be comfortable until
the water dried out.  I'd just as soon carry a spray bottle rather than
something that needs batteries replaced.   It just seemed like such a
waste..... IMO  :)
