This will be an upgrade from the current Google Assistant according to Google\u2019s announcement, and promises to provide an improved experience for natural conversations, fetching vehicle-specific information, settings adjustments, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cWhen cars with Google built-in first hit the road in 2020, we made a commitment that your car will get better over time,\u201d Google senior product manager Alankar Agnihotri <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/android\/cars-with-google-built-in-gemini-tips-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said in the announcement<\/a>. \u201cThat means that Gemini is coming not only to new cars, but also to existing ones through a software update.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The announcement isn\u2019t a total surprise, given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/920285\/general-motors-gm-gemini-ai-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">General Motors already announced yesterday<\/a> that Gemini was coming to 4 million model year 2022 and newer cars, including Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles. But Google didn\u2019t specify any particular model support, which suggests the Gemini update won\u2019t be exclusive to GM vehicles. The software update rollout will start with English in the US and continue over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The improvements should allow drivers to engage in more natural conversations with the chatbot, such as asking for nearby restaurant recommendations and playlist suggestions, instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/assistant\/answer\/9838286?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">memorizing a rigid set of commands<\/a>. Gemini can also summarize and respond to text messages, provide real-time updates about your journey, and answer specific questions about your car \u2014 including EV insights like current battery levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The option to upgrade to Gemini will appear to eligible users who are signed into their Google Account in their car. Google says its planning to expand the upgrade to additional regions and languages, and \u201cgive drivers the ability to safely access their info in apps like Gmail, Calendar and Google Home\u201d sometime in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google is preparing to update vehicles that have Google built-in with its Gemini AI assistant.
