Waymo finally has a music experience that deserves robotics

I ride in the back of the road that is independently moving to the easily crowded streets of San Francisco thanks to 29 external cameras, six radar and five Lidar sensors feeding on the AI model. For only $ 15, I am exposed to what appears to be a miracle of modern technology, however, there is an annoying idea that I cannot get rid of.

Music is absorbed here.

The feature of broadcasting music in Waymo felt as if it were an elderly Parankaler connected to a future shell. Until this week, the passengers are limited to a few musical stations that played LO-Fi, smooth jazz, K-POP, or other types that they may care about or do not care about. For those who wanted to listen to something more specifically, they had to use another application from Waymo Mother ALPHABET.

For iPhone users, this means downloading the Google Assistant app and its composition to connect to Spotify. At this stage, you had to ask Google Assistant through written or oral orders to flow some songs, artists or playlists on Waymo. Even if you reach this point-which may be in the middle of the road to your destination and listen to nearly three Lo-Fi beats-the service did not succeed reliably.

While I installed in a roboty full of advanced technology, I was confused why Waymo did not discover a simple way to flow music from my phone to the loudspeakers in the car-a penetration issued by auto manufacturers and sound manufacturers two decades ago.

For this reason, I was surprised by this week to see this road Spotify integration Allow users to link music and robotics broadcasting services smoothly. I immediately delivered services and praised Waymo to find out how it would work.

Waymo’s Spotify integration is not a leading thing, but it adds to the user experience. It works smoothly, which I expect almost when trying to play music on the loudspeakers in my car in 2025. But the ride is on the way, listen to my operating menu or pick up the place where I left on podcast, the background seat of robotics feels more space – which increases the reasons I took in a way.

To prepare it, open the Waymo app and go to the “Music” section, where you will notice a new offer that allows you to call Spotify. From there, you can press the Spotify button and authorization to connect to Waymo, albeit with giving a Robotaxi provider some access to your listening information.

I’m sure Apple Music users will soon want to flow their music and podcasts in Waymos as well. Chris Bonley, Waymo Techcrunch spokesman, has always told the company that the company always explores new customization options, but it didn’t explain when the company can add Apple Music integration.

Once Daymo and Spotify accounts are attached, she praised Waymo as you are usually and entered. On the touch screen in Waymo in the back seat, there is an option to determine Spotify. I took advantage of it, and I started the podcast that I was listening to the headphones that started playing from the specified place I left.

You can play “automatic play” or turn it on in Waymo music settings, and when entering, Robotaxi will automatically start playing any song or podcast you listened to on Spotify. I liked it, but it seems that it can make you in a strange position if you are listening to a real intense crime podcast and then entering Waymo with co -workers.

You can also use the Waymo touch screen to choose from a variety of custom operating lists that Spotify users will be familiar with, such as “day menu” or other mixtures. However, this choice does not seem to include albums, audio books, or podcasts that I recently listened to.

Fortunately, your Spotify app now controls music in Waymo. You can simply select any song or operating menu you want from your smartphone and flow it throughout the car as you use Apple CarPlay or Bluetooth.

Ultimately, make my Robotaxi feel more customized; It managed to even adjust the bus levels, amplifiers, and triple levels in the loudspeakers in the car. This customization may not be the main attraction for users for the first time, but it may keep them back-the bases of loyal customers is exactly what Waymo needs.
