Your Android Auto experience is getting a personal touch from Gemini

Your car now knows your plans, even when you’ve forgotten them. Your Android Auto experience is getting a personal touch from Gemini.

In the coming months, the feature will also roll out to cars with Google built-in. Google brings Gemini Personal Intelligence to Android Auto.

An expansion in March brought Personal Intelligence to free accounts after it was previously only available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. And now Google has begun rolling out the feature to Android Auto users.

In practice, the company says today’s update will improve Gemini’s reasoning capabilities in cars. It will also make the assistant capable of delivering more specific details as they relate to your questions and prompts.

For example, if you’re driving to the airport, Google suggests Gemini with Personal Intelligence will be able to answer questions like "what’s my flight gate?" and "is my flight on time?" Provided you’ve linked your Gmail account, it can do all this without you needing to pull over to find a confirmation email. More broadly, Google says Personal Intelligence makes it easier to interact with Gemini more naturally.

For instance, if you need directions to your doctor’s office, you can just say "take me to my doctor’s appointment," instead of speaking a specific address.
