Beep! Beep! Waymo Ads Are Coming Near You

April 3, 2025 By: FMI Staff

A person sits in the backseat of a self-driving car, looking at a digital screen displaying an in-car ad that says "Dinner Order Online – ORDER.NOW."

Imagine hopping into a self-driving car and settling in for the ride—only to have personalized ads play throughout your journey. As autonomous vehicles go mainstream, they’re opening a powerful new space for marketers: the in-ride experience.

Unlike traditional ads, these aren’t just roadside billboards you might ignore. Instead, they’re integrated directly into your commute, guaranteeing that brands can reach their audience. Whether it’s product recommendations, interactive promotions, or localized offers, the possibilities are endless.

But here’s the twist—what if riders could opt out? Consumers could have the choice to either:
✅ Enjoy a free or discounted ride with ads OR
💳 Pay for an ad-free experience

As brands experiment with new ways to capture attention in ad fatigue, in-car advertising could become the next big battleground. But will consumers embrace it or push back?

What do you think—would you trade your attention for a free ride?
