Google has officially begun rolling out Gemini for Android Auto, marking a major step forward in how drivers will interact with their cars. First previewed at Google I/O earlier this year, Gemini is now replacing Google Assistant – but it’s not just a name change. It’s a full upgrade to how voice assistance works behind the wheel. news Also Read: Tim Cook Drops A Hint: Apple’s Next Big AI Move Could Change How Siri Works

Instead of sticking to rigid commands, Gemini lets you talk naturally. Whether you’re asking for the nearest fuel station, sending a message, or adjusting your smart home devices before you get home, it’s built to understand the context of what you’re saying. The best part? Gemini doesn’t just respond – it can handle multi-layered requests. For example, you could say, “Find me a good coffee place on my route and text Riya that I’ll be 10 minutes late.” Gemini will handle both in one go. news Also Read: iPhone 17 Is More Prone To Mobile Scams Than Pixel 10 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Moto Razr+ 2025?

Gemini Live: How Will It Benefit You?

One of the biggest new additions is Gemini Live, a feature that turns your car’s dashboard into a truly interactive experience. You can say, “Let’s talk live,” and start a real-time conversation with Gemini. The AI assistant can also translate messages instantly – both sent and received – allowing seamless communication across languages while you’re on the road. Gemini Live is expected to gradually expand, and early testers report that it makes driving feel smoother and safer since it reduces the need to look at your phone. news Also Read: Reliance Jio 5G Users Can Now Access Google AI Pro Free For 18 Months: Here’s What’s Included

So far, Gemini has appeared for select users running Android Auto beta versions 15.6 and 15.7, spotted on phones like the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. While Google hasn’t confirmed a full global rollout date yet, the update seems to have quietly gone live for some users. For now, you’ll still use the familiar “Hey Google” wake phrase, but the assistant responding is Gemini – complete with natural replies, live recommendations, and integrated AI features.

What Gemini Can Do In Android Auto

With the latest update, Gemini can:

  • Translate text messages while driving.
  • Suggest places or restaurants along your route.
  • Pull data from Gmail and Calendar for reminders or schedules.
  • Play music from YouTube Music, Spotify, and other apps.
  • Activate Gemini Live for real-time voice interactions.
