Classical music
Classical music is scientifically proven to relax, focus and even sleep better—all things that are crucial to your mental health when you’re stuck in a car with your dad. There’s plenty of places where you can find instrumental music that doesn’t make you cringe. For instance, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra has a Spotify channel and there are several playlists on Spotify for everything from relaxing classical to inspiring classical to reading classical and more. I might be biased because I’m a bit of a music nerd, but once you get over the fact that it’s not what you’re used to listening to, it can actually be very enjoyable.

Rock music
Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as “rock and roll” in the United States in the early 1950s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country music, jazz, classical music. In 1951, Ohio disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this music style while popularizing the term “rock and roll” to describe it.
In 1957, when this new form of music was played on American television for the first time (on The Ed Sullivan Show), he was introduced as “the king of rock and roll”.

Alternative rock music
Alternative rock music is a genre that has been wildly successful in the last 30 years, and its influence can be seen in everything from movies, to books, to video games. Its popularity comes from its ability to strike an emotional chord with listeners, and it appeals to people who feel like they’re on the outside looking in. Notable alternative rock artists include everyone from Radiohead to Green Day, but it all started with bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins who were creating a new sound that was less mainstream than some of their contemporaries.
Alternative rock music is generally characterized by its use of instruments like electric guitar and drums which are played at high volumes while singers belt out songs about personal anguish. The loudness and heaviness of the music is accompanied by lyrics that relate feelings of isolation or depression. While this might not seem appealing at first glance, alternative rock musicians have found success by striking a universal chord within young people feeling alienated from society.
If you’re looking for examples of alternative rock in pop culture today, check out films like Donnie Darko or books like Fight Club. You can also listen to the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which features an eclectic mix of 80’s hair metal alongside bands like Rage Against the Machine
Pop-rock music
Pop-rock music is a genre that mixes pop music and rock music. It can also be considered a subgenre of either pop or rock, from the perspective of different genres being layers in a hierarchy.
Heavy metal music
You can program your self-driving car to go where you want it to go by choosing the right music to play. The most effective genre for inducing your car to drive somewhere is heavy metal. This makes sense, because many heavy metal fans are fans of auto racing and car shows. You have a wide variety of popular heavy metal artists and bands to select from, including:
- Black Sabbath
- Pantera
- Metallica
- Iron Maiden
- Slayer
Reggae music
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica. It is an offshoot of ska and rocksteady, with musical influences from R&B, jazz, and African music. It was the favorite musical genre of the Jamaican people throughout the 1960s.

- “No Woman No Cry” by Bob Marley

Country music
Some of the best country music out there is perfect for long, relaxing drives. Artists like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton have a soothing quality to their voices that will help you keep calm on the road. If you’re not sure about this genre of music but want to try it on for size, check out “Coat of Many Colors” by Dolly Parton. If you love it—or just want to see more songs like it—you can listen to other artists who have country roots such as Loretta Lynn or even Hank Williams Sr., who wrote many famous hit songs that are still being covered today!
While country music is great for long drives, city drivers might prefer something a little less…quiet. If that’s true of your driving style, then we recommend listening to rap or hip-hop as they tend to be full of energy and excitement! Some classics include Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noise” or NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton.” You can also check out newer artists like Kendrick Lamar with his song “Humble” or Cardi B’s hit single “Bodak Yellow” if these don’t suit your tastes just yet!
Indie rock music
Indie rock is a music genre that has a number of sub-genres. These sub-genres can be stylistically varied, and therefore have the potential to appeal to a wide range of people. The term ‘indie rock’ was originally used to describe bands on independent record labels. Indie rock bands often have an emphasis on DIY ethics, which means that they may choose not to sign with major record labels in order to maintain their autonomy. Because many indie rock bands are autonomous, they are able to explore a lot of different themes through the lyrics in their songs. There are also many indie rock artists who focus on more mainstream topics such as love and loss in their songs if you’re looking for something that’s maybe less experimental or alternative sounding.
Electronic dance music (EDM)
Electronic dance music (EDM) can be a little repetitive, but it is also often very soothing and has a lot of bass. Try some of the following songs to get you started:
- “Where Are Ü Now” by Skrillex and Diplo
- “Wake Me Up” by Avicii
- “Don’t You Worry Child” by Swedish House Mafia
If you’re looking for something new, try out the newer versions of these songs from their original albums that may have more complex melodies, harmonies, and beats.
Rap music
Rap music is a genre of music that was born in the late 1970s in the United States. It grew out of an earlier form of music known as rhythm and blues. This genre is characterized by its use of drums and percussion instruments, as well as its use of synthesizers, keyboards and sound effects. The name rap came from the sounds made by MCs when they rhymed with each other over beats.
This genre has become one of the most popular genres in America today, and one way some people like to listen to it is through their self-driving cars. I know this might seem odd, but many people like rap because it makes them feel free while they are driving around town or just running errands. So if you want to feel free while listening to your favorite artists, try these types of songs that range from old school hip hop all the way up until today’s top hits!
Music is a way to control your computer’s driving path.
Music is a powerful tool that can be used to influence your driving decisions, so it’s important to know what type of music you’re listening to. If you listen to rock, for instance, your self-driving car will not understand the lyrics and will assume that your destination is “rock,” causing the car to go off the road.
It’s best to stick with classical music if you want your self-driving car to drive safely. Classical music is easy for computers to understand because there are no words involved (unless you’re playing Mozart). If you like rap or hip hop, then it’s likely that your computer will interpret these songs as instructions from human beings.
Some people think that techno/house music works well because computers don’t have ears, but this isn’t true: they do have eyes! House/techno music contains a lot of high frequencies which are detected by sensors in their visual system.
