Waymo’s robotaxis add better beats to the backseat
Waymo’s robotaxis add better beats to the backseat-February 2024
2025-08-14 EDT 02:01:38

Passengers taking a ride inside Waymos robotaxis can now connect their Spotify account to the vehicles music system for a more personalized listening experience.

The partnership, unveiled this week with the help of American rapper Saweetie, is sure to be warmly welcomed by Spotify users who ride Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, where the feature is currently available.

.@Saweetie says #boffum, and we think so, too. @Spotify is now integrated with the Waymo app. Connect your accounts and vibe today. Learn more: https://t.co/OkhIEe8CP7 pic.twitter.com/q2ESM6oLkl

Waymo (@Waymo) August 12, 2025 The new option means passengers can now easily link their Spotify accounts to listen to their favorite music or podcasts during rides, making the backseat experience more enjoyable and relaxing.

Recommended Videos For the one-time setup, all you do is open the Waymo app (make sure you have the latest version) on your phone, go to Account, and select Music. Next, tap on Spotify to connect, and youll be prompted to log in to your Spotify account. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to allow your Waymo and Spotify accounts to connect.

A nice touch is that you can use an equalizer to fine-tune the sound coming through the robotaxis speakers. To find it, open the Waymo app and go to Account, then Music and Adjust audio settings. You can also access the equalizer through the Settings icon at the bottom right of the now playing screen.

Your Spotify account will remain connected for future Waymo rides, though should you ever want to disconnect it, you can do so in a few taps via Settings in your Waymo account. Be assured, too, that your music selection will automatically stop playing at the end of your trip, with the system resetting for the next rider.

For now, users of other popular music streaming services such as Apple Music and Amazon Music will have to continue with Waymos limited incar audio options, or rely on a clunky workaround via Google Assistant or casting through multiple apps to access additional music content. If that sounds like a lot of messing around, then just stick your earphones in.
