Google Gemini just got a major upgrade for your car — and it could make your daily drives a whole lot easier
Gemini and Personal Intelligence are joining forces to become even more of a helpful digital assistant during your daily drives.
Google has recently introduced a significant upgrade to its AI assistant, Gemini, specifically designed for use in vehicles. Gemini is now integrated into Android Auto smart driving companion apps and built-in Google systems used by car manufacturers like Acura, General Motors, and Ford. This update also allows Gemini to draw on personal information saved in Google Workspace, Photos, Maps, YouTube, and Search.
This "Personal Intelligence" feature enables Gemini to provide more tailored responses during car rides. Users can now ask Gemini for specific details like flight gate information or upcoming appointments, and it will retrieve and reference relevant data from saved emails, photos, or maps. The update is globally available, but users can turn off the Personal Intelligence feature if desired.
Despite this, the new Gemini will still function as a standard GPS, music player, and voice assistant.
