Google Adds Gemini AI to Android Auto – And Drivers Are Loving It

Google just brought its flagship AI model Gemini into Android Auto. Early users say it completely transforms the driving experience. From fetching addresses to holding natural conversations while you’re on the road, Gemini is turning your car into something that feels close to a true AI co-pilot.

Google released the announcement in a short video demo where a young lady driving to her friend’s house asked Google to fetch the address she forgot, and suggest nearby pizza places, all in a natural, conversational tone.

The company confirmed that users will need to upgrade from Google Assistant to Gemini on their phones to unlock the full experience across Android Auto, now rolling out in 45 languages with more support coming soon.

Gemini Supercharges Android Auto With Real AI Assistance

Gemini is already powering several major Google services, but its arrival on Android Auto marks one of the most practical integrations so far.

The model’s multimodal capabilities allow drivers to ask for directions, add stops, explore restaurant reviews, schedule reminders, send messages, or manage tasks using conversational commands rather than rigid voice prompts.

Communication with family, friends, or even business partners can be done just by asking the app to notify any of your contacts and telling it what to say.

The AI is also deeply integrated with Gemini Live. Which enables real back-and-forth conversations without distracting the driver. Early footage shows drivers asking follow-up questions, changing plans mid-route, and getting contextual suggestions.

Early Users Praise the Upgrade and Want Even More

Drivers who have tested the new AI model inside Android Auto report significant improvements in responsiveness, accuracy, and conversational flow.

Many say Gemini feels faster than the previous Assistant, especially when retrieving real-time information or delivering detailed recommendations.

Google has been rolling out Gemini across multiple ecosystems, including its recent integration into Google TV, which allows users to control their viewing experiences using natural speech and context-aware commands.

With Gemini now embedded in Android Auto, the company is pushing toward a future where AI blends seamlessly into everyday devices, not just phones and laptops.
