The development of Android Auto continues with the same accelerated pace of the last two years; In fact, it goes faster than ever, to the point that the versions “work” among them.

Indeed, Android Auto 14 is already thereWithout a lot of Google fanfare. The new version has simply appeared, practically at the same time as version 13.9. Perhaps this happened because version 13.9 had been in beta version for several weeks, which would have given time to version 14 to go through its respective beta and be launched at the same time.
In any case, the fact is that Android Auto 14 is already starting to reach user smartphones, and the APK can already be downloaded from sites like Apkmirror. This brings us to the big question: are there interesting news in Android Auto 14? Yes and no, because although there is Fundamental changes that will soon have consequencesFor the moment, we will not notice them.
The big change that Android Auto 14 is introduced is Arrival of Gemini in cars. As announced this month, Google has decided to abandon the development of Google Assistant and to focus completely on Gemini; The new AI -based assistant will replace Google Assistant in most smartphones, tablets, televisions and other devices, and yes, also in cars.
Android Auto 14 is the first version that includes References to Gemini in its codeAlthough for the moment, it does not seem that the new assistant can be used. It is likely that the launch of Gemini for cars will occur gradually and that it will be gradually activated thanks to the code included in Android Auto 14.

However, not all users can use it; Google warns that Gemini in Android Auto require A smartphone with at least 2 GB of RAM And with Android 10 at least. At least, Google Assistant will not disappear completely and will operate on mobile phones that do not meet the requirements.
The great advantage of this change is the possibility of using live Gemini in the car; This AI is able to have conversations with the user and is able to do more things than Google Assistant. In this way we can 'Talk to the car'that you can answer questions, show us recommendations; In Android Auto, Gemini Live will be able to access the functions of applications, such as the music player or WhatsApp cats, in addition to the functions of the car. Linked to the latter, Android Auto 14 also includes references to air conditioning and air conditioning controls, which were already known to be integrated into the system.
