- Android Auto is expected to get Gemini integration soon as part of Google’s push to bring AI across its ecosystem.
- We tested out how Gemini will function as the default assistant on Android Auto.
- While Gemini delivered conversational answers to questions, it fell short on providing practical, location-specific advice.
Google has been on a mission to weave Gemini into as many of its products as possible. The AI chatbot is already replacing Google Assistant on Android phones, integration with Google TV is on the way, and now, Android Auto is next in line to get its dose of Gemini.
Back in January, we were able to activate Gemini’s UI within Android Auto, but at the time, it was just that — a UI. The assistant didn’t actually respond to any queries. Fast-forward to today, and we were finally able to see Gemini not only appear on the Android Auto interface but also respond to our queries.
