Google is updating its Gemini AI assistant in vehicles with a new 'Personal Intelligence' feature. The upgrade integrates data from Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, and Maps to provide personalized context through Android Auto and Google Built-in.
Why it matters
This deep integration aims to make AI assistants indispensable in daily commutes while raising potential privacy questions regarding cross-app data sharing.
Google is making the Gemini AI assistant that’s already in millions of cars, trucks, and SUVs a lot more personal — a move that could push consumers even deeper into the company’s ecosystem of products.
The company said Tuesday it’s upgrading Gemini in vehicles with a personal intelligence feature that can draw on information from Gmail, Google Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Google Search history, and other connected Google services to understand your preferences, activities, and past experiences.
Google said it will roll out “Personal Intelligence with Gemini” to vehicles in two ways — through Android Auto, an app that runs on the user’s phone and wirelessly communicates with and projects navigation, media, and messaging to the vehicle’s infotainment system, and Google Built-in , software and services that have been directly integrated into the vehicle.
