According to Google’s company blog, Gemini is rolling out to vehicles with Google built-in as an upgrade that replaces Google Assistant in-car. Google states the software update will reach both new and existing cars starting with English-language users in the United States, and eligible drivers signed into their Google Account will see an upgrade prompt, per Google. General Motors announced it will upgrade about 4 million vehicles model year 2022 and newer, according to GM’s press release and reporting by CNET. Reporting from TechCrunch and Android Authority notes Gemini can answer vehicle-specific questions using manufacturer-provided owner’s manuals, control in-car settings, summarize messages, and includes a Gemini Live mode for open-ended conversations.
