Google has been steadily introducing Gemini across its products and services. Most recently, we’ve seen Google integrate its AI into Google Maps. And previously, Gemini made its way to Google TV, Gmail, Google Docs, and more. So, it’s really not surprising to learn that Gemini has now made its way onto Android Auto.
Gemini arrives for Android Auto
Google had previously said that Gemini for Android Auto would arrive in May earlier this year. Clearly that did not happen. But better late than never, right? If you’re an Android Auto user, you might want to keep an eye out for Gemini’s arrival. However, according to 9to5Google, it might not be available to all Android Auto users yet.
It seems that for now, Google is rolling out the change starting with its beta users first. Also, the change appears to be server-side. This means that users don’t need to do anything; they’ll just have to wait for Google to flip a switch. Either way, if you do use Android Auto frequently, you might need to start getting used to the change.
The replacement of Google Assistant
One of the biggest changes Gemini will bring to the table is that it will replace Google Assistant. Google Assistant has been Google’s default virtual assistant for the longest time ever. It was on Android, Google Home products, and Android Auto, just to name a few. However, the arrival of Gemini means that it will take the place of Google Assistant.
One of the big differences is that Gemini will be better at understanding natural language commands. While Google Assistant is pretty decent, Gemini should do a much better job. Unfortunately, we don’t know how in-depth the integration is since it appears to be only available for a select handful of users. However, Google did give some past examples where Gemini could help users automatically translate text messages.
Users can activate Gemini with the “Hey Google” hotword, or they can say “let’s talk live” to bring up Gemini Live.
