Google says Gemini will make interactions in the car feel far more fluid. Instead of issuing stiff, robotic commands — “Navigate to Starbucks” — you’ll be able to speak naturally and combine multiple tasks. For example: “Text Sarah, I’m on my way, and tell me how long it’ll take to get to the Thai place we went to last month.”
The technology will be available for other vehicles with Google built-in later this year, including the new Lincoln Nautilus and Honda Passport.
Software update 14.4, which is available now in the beta testing program, has made a number of subtle tweaks to its so-called ‘Coolwalk screen’, which essentially offers a number of applications in one, easy-to-navigate interface on Android Auto-compatible vehicle head units and vehicles running the Android Automotive OS.
Google's AI-powered assistant Gemini is now available for your car in the latest Android Auto 14.4 beta update.
But don't imagine you'll use Gemini in Android Auto to rehearse talking to your boss.
