Google is expanding its AI assistant capabilities across various platforms, with Gemini now integrated into Android Auto, a feature expected to enhance in-car user experiences.

The tech giant announced that Android Auto will support Gemini, an AI assistant launched in 2023 as Bard and rebranded as Gemini earlier this year. This integration aims to provide users with more conversational abilities, such as getting directions to specific destinations rather than just locations, and sending messages instead of canned responses. Users can also expect Gemini to interact with various third-party apps, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Samsung Calendar, Samsung Reminder, and Samsung Notes.

This development follows the rollout of Gemini on Android-based smartphones since last year, where it has been available on devices like the Google Pixel, certain Samsung Galaxy models, as well as foldable phones. The expansion of Gemini to Android Auto is expected to benefit users who have upgraded from the previous Google Assistant system.

The addition of Gemini to Android Auto is part of a broader effort by Google to phase out its old Google Assistant in favor of the new AI assistant. Other automotive brands such as Volvo and Polestar are also integrating Gemini into their vehicles, with 2026 models set to feature the updated infotainment systems. General Motors has announced plans to add Gemini to its vehicles using Android Automotive-based infotainment systems by 2025.

While the integration of Gemini into Android Auto marks a significant milestone for Google's AI assistant capabilities, the company remains committed to developing its own AI software, as evident from its ongoing development of in-house AI solutions.
 
I'm loving this new level of AI convenience! Imagine being able to get turn-by-turn directions with more context, like "take a left at the next Starbucks" 🤖. And being able to send personalized messages to friends while on-the-go? That's some Star Trek vibes right there, à la Captain Picard 🚀. It's crazy to think about how far tech has come in just a few years - from Bard to Gemini, and now Android Auto! 🚗💻 I'm stoked to see what other innovations Google has up its sleeve 💡.
 
🤖 I think it's cool how Google is upgrading Android Auto with Gemini's conversational abilities 📱💬. Imagine being able to get turn-by-turn directions that actually know where you're going vs just getting a location, and sending messages without having to go through canned responses 📲. It sounds like a total game-changer for in-car users! 🚗 I'm excited to see how this is gonna improve our overall experience with Android Auto. And it's awesome to see other car brands like Volvo and Polestar jumping on board too 🚗💨. Can't wait to see what 2026 brings!
 
I think it's pretty cool how Google is taking things to the next level with Gemini and Android Auto 🚗💻. I mean, just imagine being able to get directions to specific destinations, like "Hey, take me to the nearest coffee shop" or sending messages while you're on the road without having to pull over 😂. It's all about making these in-car experiences more seamless and convenient for users.

And it's interesting that other car brands are jumping on this bandwagon too - Volvo, Polestar, and now GM are all getting in on the action 🚗💸. I think this is a huge win for Google, not just because they're expanding their AI capabilities, but also because it shows how versatile Gemini can be used across different platforms.

But what's even more fascinating is that Google isn't just stopping at Android Auto - they're still pushing to develop their own in-house AI solutions 🤖. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got this new tool, but we're not done yet." And honestly, I think that's a healthy approach to innovation 🌟.
 
I don't usually comment but... I think it's kinda cool that Google is finally giving users more options with Gemini 🤔. I mean, being able to get directions to specific destinations instead of just locations sounds super convenient 📍. And sending messages instead of canned responses? That's a game-changer for me 😂. But what really got me thinking is how this is gonna impact the whole in-car user experience thing 🚗. With Gemini integrated into Android Auto, it's like having a personal assistant built right into your car 🤖. It's like they're finally catching up with Tesla's Autopilot feature 🚀. And what's even more interesting is that other brands like Volvo and Polestar are doing the same thing too 💻. I wonder if we'll see a whole new level of tech integration in cars soon 🔩
 
So this is what we get when you let the tech giants control our cars... I mean, it's like they're trying to make us more dependent on their services. What's wrong with giving people a choice? Android Auto should be able to use other AI assistants too, like Apple's Siri or even Microsoft's Cortana. This is just another case of Google playing the monopoly game and squeezing out competition.
 
🚗💻 just read that google is takin' android auto to the next level with gemini! did u know that gemini has been around since 2023 and was rebranded earlier this yr? 🤖 anyway, it's dope that they're integratin' it into in-car systems now. stats show that 70% of google's new device users upgraded from previous assistants to gemini last yr 📈 and now we can expect even more features like directions & message sendin! 📍📲 i'm low-key hyped for the 2026 models comin' out with updated infotainment systems 👀 GM is also on board, which is a big deal for the automotive industry 🚗💸
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think it’s cool how Google is taking its AI assistant game to the next level with Gemini 🤖. The fact that Android Auto will be able to understand more complex requests like directions to specific destinations or send messages instead of canned responses is a big step forward. It makes sense that they’re doing this too, considering most people use their phones for navigation and communication while driving, so why not make it seamless? 🚗💻 I’m also stoked to see other car brands getting on board with Gemini, like Volvo and Polestar, as it’s gonna create a better user experience overall. But at the same time, I think Google needs to keep developing its own AI software, cuz relying on third-party apps can be sketchy 🤔
 
I'm stoked to see Google taking this step towards making Android Auto way more user-friendly 🚗💬. The idea of being able to send messages and get directions to specific places sounds super convenient 📍📱. It's also cool that Gemini is interacting with other third-party apps, like Gmail and Samsung Calendar, which should make life easier for Android users 😊. I'm curious to try it out on my own car 🚗, especially since I've had my eye on upgrading from the old Google Assistant system 💻.
 
so google is getting more serious about this whole ai thing 🤖 and it's kinda cool that they're making android auto more conversational now... think about driving around and just being able to ask your car like "where can i get coffee nearby?" or something and the car just gives you directions without having to search on your phone first 😎. anyway, it's also kinda weird that other companies are jumping on board with this gemini tech because they want to phase out their old assistants... feels like google is just trying to upgrade everything in one go 🤯. but hey, if it makes driving more enjoyable and user-friendly then i'm all for it!
 
omg u guyz i cant even right now 🤯 lol google is takin it up a notch wit their ai assistant gemini!! they're integratin it into android auto which is like the ultimate game changer for car users. no more just gettin directions to places, now u can send messages and have actual conversations 📱💬 its lit!!! and i'm lowkey excited cuz other brands r doin it too like volvo and polestar 🚗👍 but at da same time google's still workin on their own ai tech so we'll see how dis all plays out 💡
