We’re pleased to bring yet another option to our riders to personalize their playlists while taking a ride — YouTube Music!

Riders with YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium accounts can play their favorite music and podcasts directly from the car, ad-free. Linking your accounts is quick and easy from the Waymo app’s account settings or by scanning the QR code from the in-car screen. To get the party started, we’ll provide eligible Waymo riders a 3-month free trial of YouTube Premium.

We celebrated this announcement by collaborating with pop artist Julia Michaels, who performed her latest hit, “No Heartbreak’s Killed Me Yet,” from the backseat of a Waymo vehicle. After her ride, she shared her thoughts on the experience: “I love Waymo cause it’s nonjudgmental. I feel safe to sing as silly as I want with YouTube Music and be as free as I want. It’s an incredible experience.”

YouTube Music joins Spotify and iHeart as another excellent music choice for our riders, as we continue to elevate the rider experience and deliver more personalization through the Waymo app.
