Google is in the middle of a metamorphosis to a company completely dedicated to AI; Today we have seen Google Cloud’s news, and absolutely all have something to do with that technology, from Gemini to models of image generation, video and even music. And Android Auto will soon get into the car, the expression is worth.
It is no secret that Android Auto will soon use Gemini as a personal assistant in the car; Google itself announced it with the end of Google Assistant this 2025 on smartphones and other devices. However, Gemini’s implementation in Android Auto will be something different, because of the needs of the platform, and now we know a little more about this.
Android Auto 14.1 has already been released to the publicand although as usual it does not bring a large number of news to the naked eye, it is possible to find changes in the code that point to an important renewal soon. In Android Sage They have discovered some of these changes, which indicate that Android Auto will use Gemini Live as an assistant.

Therefore, in the near future we can use Gemini Live to control Android Auto and the car functions, from reading the WhatsApp messages received to change songs.

And thanks to the Integration of Android Auto with car systems That it has already been discovered, Gemini Live should also be able to control the air conditioner, radio and other elements that until now were limited to control in the cabin. Therefore, Android Auto’s experience can improve very quickly with a ‘small’ change like this.
The fact of using Gemini Live instead of the basic version of the assistant makes a lot of sense in the car. Conversational capabilities They will be more useful when we are behind the wheel and we cannot distract ourselves with long text paragraphs or data; Gemini Live should be able to give us what we want in a concise and natural way, and listen to if we change their minds or if we want to adapt the results to our needs at all times.
