Google says Gemini will make interactions in the car feel far more fluid. Instead of issuing stiff, robotic commands — “Navigate to Starbucks” — you’ll be able to speak naturally and combine multiple tasks. For example: “Text Sarah, I’m on my way, and tell me how long it’ll take to get to the Thai place we went to last month.”

The car version of Gemini will first be available on Android Auto in the coming months and later this year on Google built-in.

Commentary: I'm not big on AI, but if it can save me from endlessly scrolling through Netflix and Hulu, I'm all ears.
