Google prepares to update vehicles with Google built-in to its Gemini AI assistant, replacing the current Google Assistant for a more conversational experience.

The upgrade enables natural conversations, vehicle-specific information retrieval, settings adjustments, and more, according to Google's announcement. "When cars with Google built-in first hit the road in 2020, we made a commitment that your car will get better over time," Google senior product manager Alankar Agnihotri said. "That means that Gemini is coming not only to new cars, but also to existing ones through a software update."

General Motors announced yesterday that Gemini arrives for 4 million model year 2022 and newer cars, including Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles. Google did not specify model support, suggesting the update extends beyond GM. Rollout begins with English in the US over coming months.

Gemini supports queries like nearby restaurant recommendations and playlist suggestions without rigid commands. It summarizes and responds to text messages, provides real-time journey updates, and answers car-specific questions, including EV battery levels.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
