Google is expanding its AI-powered driving experience with Gemini Intelligence, which will connect information across apps and provide personalised suggestions to users while they are on the road.
The new capability is coming to Android Auto and is designed to make the in-car assistant more proactive. It can identify useful information from connected apps and suggest actions that users can complete with a single tap. The feature builds on Gemini’s existing Personal Intelligence capabilities.
Gemini Intelligence aims to simplify in-car tasks
Google explained how the feature could work through an example. If a friend messages a user asking for the location of an upcoming Pilates class, Gemini Intelligence can find the confirmation email and suggest sharing the address directly. This removes the need to search through the inbox while driving.
The assistant is also expected to support multiple actions on a user’s behalf, including tasks such as ordering food.
Initial availability limited to Pixel phones
Gemini Intelligence on Android Auto will initially support select Google Pixel smartphones. While Google has not confirmed the complete list, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series are expected to be among the compatible devices.
Users will need the Gemini app and additional setup to access the feature. Availability will depend on the country, supported language and device. The feature is intended for users aged 18 and above, with regional restrictions also applying.
Google has not announced a specific release date for the Android Auto integration. The rollout is expected to happen gradually.
