Woman Moves From Nashville to Austin. Then She Takes a Waymo, Discovers She Can Play Taylor Swift-There's Just One Problem
Briefly

Madi Marotta recorded a Waymo ride where the autonomous taxi allowed her to stream her personal music collection through a rear infotainment touchscreen. She expressed delight at the freedom to choose songs and attempted to play Taylor Swift before streaming Chappel Roan's "The Subway" and singing along. The vehicle provided in-cabin artwork and playback controls. Marotta praised the feature but criticized the car's slow driving speed. Her GPS indicated a roughly 10-minute journey while the Waymo took about 20 minutes across Austin, extending the ride time and surprising the passenger.
She begins her video by stating: "One thing we didn't have in Nashville and then I moved to Austin was these [expletive] Waymos. And let me tell you this is like an annoying person's dream. I can do whatever I want in here. I can like...I'm gonna play Taylor Swift," she says, commenting on the freedom she's afforded while riding in one of the Waymo vehicles alone.
Following this, her clip cuts to her interacting with the Waymo's rear-set infotainment system. "Waymo didn't know you had tastes like this," she says, before howling off-camera and flipping her recording device's orientation around. While the car didn't put on a Taylor Swift song in her clip, Marotta seems to have found another famous, female pop star's music to stream.
