We’ve long discovered clues suggesting that Google has been building up Gemini support for Android Auto and Android Automotive. Google had been tight-lipped about the feature, only confirming Gemini’s expansion to cars and more late last month. As part of The Android Show before Google I/O this year, Google is sharing more details about Gemini and Gemini Live coming to Android Auto and cars with Google Built-in.
Gemini is coming to Android Auto and cars with Google Built-in
Google says over 250 million cars support Android Auto (run through your phone on your car’s head unit). There are also more than 50 car models with “Google built-in,” which is Google’s branding for Android Automotive OS with included Google apps. Since Android Automotive OS runs directly on your car, you don’t need a connection to your phone.
