Summary
- Gemini AI can now control car features like sunroofs and provide information.
- New Android Auto features include personalized dashboards and 4K video.
- Gemini AI will help order food and manage schedules directly from the car.
Google is integrating its Gemini AI into vehicles, enhancing both Google Built-in and Android Auto systems with new capabilities expected later this year. This advancement allows drivers to interact with their cars more intuitively.
Demonstrated in a Volvo EX60, Gemini AI could be voice-commanded to make the sunroof opaque and identify dashboard warning lights. In a simulated drive, it recognized a famous skyscraper and provided historical context using the car's camera.
Further enhancements were showcased in a Kia EV9, featuring Android Auto updates like personalized dashboards and the ability to watch 4K YouTube videos while charging. These videos automatically switch to audio-only while driving.
Gemini's "Magic Cue" feature can access emails and calendars to respond to requests, such as confirming pottery class times. It also facilitates ordering food through delivery apps, simplifying the process to a few voice commands and a tap to confirm.
Vehicles with both Google Built-in and Android Auto compatibility will benefit from Immersive Navigation in Google Maps, offering a 3D view of the surroundings for clearer guidance. These AI-driven updates aim to simplify daily tasks and improve driver focus.
