In the near term, we\u2019re upgrading GM vehicles with Google Gemini1, bringing advanced conversational AI to the road at an unmatched scale. Gemini will roll out soon to model year 2022 and newer Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles with Google built-in. With approximately 4 million vehicles in the U.S. eligible for the update, this represents one of the largest deployments of Gemini in the industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cGemini delivers conversational AI to millions of drivers across every segment and price point for a wide range of everyday needs. That kind of scale is only possible because of the connected vehicle foundation GM has built through OnStar over the past 30 years,\u201d said Tim Twerdahl, vice president of product management, General Motors. \u201cLater this year, GM will deliver a more deeply integrated AI experience shaped by OnStar intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gemini is available with Google built-in2 through GM\u2019s infotainment system, drawing on the power of your vehicle\u2019s software platform, and OnStar connectivity to deliver richer information. Customers will notice an upgrade from the current Google Assistant to a smarter, more intuitive AI assistant that continues to improve over time.<\/p>\n
With Gemini, you can speak naturally without memorizing commands or repeating context. Ask for music that fits your mood, your scenery, or the length of your trip. Talk to Gemini about the skyline as you drive past it. You can debate big ideas, explore random curiosities, and even send texts translated in different languages \u2014 all while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.<\/p>\n
New things to try with Gemini in your GM vehicle<\/p>\n
Gemini lets you use natural, back-and-forth conversation, instead of commands. It understands context, handles follow-up questions seamlessly and keeps getting smarter over time.<\/p>\n
Here are some new experiences that will make driving a GM vehicle more engaging at every turn:<\/p>\n
1. Texts that don\u2019t get lost in translation \u2014 sent with the perfect emojis<\/p>\n
Ask Gemini to summarize and read your incoming messages so you can respond with context and confidence. Gemini understands natural language, making it easy to draft, edit, or even translate your texts all without touching your phone.<\/p>\n
2. Curated entertainment that meets the occasion<\/p>\n
Heading on a road trip? It can create a playlist that matches the scenery. Stuck in the carpool line? It\u2019ll suggest a podcast episode that fits your remaining time. Parked and waiting? Stream a quick show. Gemini taps into your go\u2011to in\u2011vehicle apps3 \u2014 Amazon Music, Apple Music, Audible, HBO Max, Hulu, Prime Video, Spotify, TuneIn, YouTube, and more.<\/p>\n
Road trip vibes: \u201cHey Google, can you help me create a road trip playlist? I want something upbeat, about 3 hours long, that’s good for both me and the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
Studio-grade listening: \u201cHey Google, play the newest tracks in Dolby Atmos4\u201d and enjoy immersive audio in select Cadillac models.<\/p>\n
Podcasts summarized: \u201cHey Google, can you give me a summary of the latest episode of OnStar\u2019s Tell Me What Happened podcast?\u201d<\/p>\n
3. Multitask, while staying focused on the road<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re juggling a lot at once, your in-vehicle assistant can handle the tasks in a single conversation flow.<\/p>\n
Say: \u201cHey Google, take me to the closest coffee shop and text my mom to let her know I\u2019ll be late.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then refine it with a follow up: \u201cActually, make that a coffee shop with outdoor seating and ask my mom if she wants to meet me there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Or shift gears mid-flow: \u201cAnd play something calmer for the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
4. Learn and brainstorm<\/p>\n
Sometimes the drive is the only quiet moment you get in a busy day. You can use that time to pick up something new, think through ideas, or rehearse for a meeting \u2014 just say, \u201cHey Google, let\u2019s talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plan a trip and learn about the destination: \u201cCan you help us brainstorm ideas for a family holiday? Somewhere warm, full of adventure, without a long flight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prep for important conversations: \u201cI need to have a conversation with my boss about a new promotion. How do I go about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
5. Smarter route planning for commercial drivers<\/p>\n
From landscapers and service technicians to long\u2011haul operators, GM\u2019s commercial-vehicle drivers spend their days on the road, often managing multiple stops, tight schedules, and heavy equipment. Gemini helps take the stress out of planning, so drivers can focus on getting the job done.<\/p>\n
Plan a more efficient day: \u201cI have three stops to make today and need to finish my day with at least half a tank. Can you help me find the least expensive fuel along my route?\u201d<\/p>\n
Find trailer-friendly parking: \u201cWhere is the best trailer friendly parking near me?<\/p>\n
