We have been looking at some of its possibilities for months and Google has finally started the countdown for Gemini to reach Android Auto. However, landing awaits: there are still weeks until it is a reality (the deployment is surely progressive after the Google E / S) and a year ago, we started to see it in action by responding to messages. But the wait is worth it: I can't think of a better place for Gemini than Android Auto.
Because Google deploys its artificial intelligence in most of its software, the media and hardware and even a giant step in terms of Google Assistant, where it is the most logical of the car. And I explain: it comes well everywhere, but where you should take care of your hands in the steering wheel and the view pointing forward is in the car. I don't need to touch the screen or take a look This makes the difference in terms of safety and to avoid fines.
With Gemini in Android Auto, I can finally say about 'Look at mom without hands'
Before there was Google Assistant, who promised a lot to make our lives easier, but whoever tried it knows: or you said you short and clear commands or it was easier and faster to do so In fact, I have already counted that there were only a few commands of Google Assistant in Android Auto who did not failed me.
With Gemini is another story Because Google's artificial intelligence understands and contextualizes. Maybe he does not reach the level of a human co -pilot, but it remains very close. After all, it is not only a question of taking us from point A to B without getting lost (which is not small), is to know the best routes, to dodge traffic jams, to be able to add differences and stops … and that only in navigation.
We can also want to answer a message or know what they wrote to us, put a podcast, which then seemed to listen to a specific group or a certain song, remember that we have an appointment in a place thanks to the calendar and must put the route in the browser … Yes, you can drive without Android Auto, but with Android Auto is better. AND If there is finally an assistant who allows ussafer and effective.
The secret is It works precisely as if you were talking to a human co -pilot Execute all these tasks (and many others) to neglect you. I tried the gemstones live live and I know how it works in conversations, so I have media threshing through the clouds.
It is only with the above, most would constitute palms, but it should be noted that with Gemini, you can also summarize the messages, compose texts for you and even translate up to 40 languages, including Spanish. The latter is not something to ask for a co -pilot, but it is not bad.
In addition Google Maps is already a powerful tool in itselfTo read and search for criticisms to find a road restaurant is something that I do so far, but that will avoid many risks and decisions: 'Tell me a cheap restaurant and with good assessments to eat today without diverting the route“It is a task that would give me headache for me and a co-pivot, because it is not so easy or immediate, but that the Gemini have the potential to do well.
So that Gemini in Android Auto is a success is an essential requirement that there is a link with other applications. I mentioned above to respond to messages, see the calendar, find a good restaurant, among others. It already works well with Google ecosystem applications, but it seems fundamental which is understood with classics such as WhatsApp or Spotify.
Google says that we can even give a conversation, which gives more meaning to what it seems not falling asleep during long trips in a few hours, but it can also be used for things like revision for a meeting, a presentation or an exam. I would be satisfied with was a good co-pilot for safer drivingBut everything else is welcome.
