- Google Gemini is soon on its way to Android Auto
- A new video shows how integration works
- The new AI replaces Google Assistant in cars
Gemini takes over from Google Assistant across all Google’s apps and devices, and Android Auto will soon change – as shown by a new demovideo that gives us an idea of how the AI assistant should work on your car’s dashboard.
The video was caught on Google I/O 2025 and posted by 9to5Google, and you can see how gemini slots on the right side of the screen (or maybe left hand, depending on the rules of the road in your country).
If you have used Gemini on your phone, the interface will be known, with the glowing blue-ish crumbs that show that Gemini is active. You are then free to ask the questions you have on the road using natural language.
You may want to see nearby gas stations for example or get Gemini to pull the location of an event you are on your way to from your Google calendar. All you can do on your phone you can do through Gemini on Android Auto.
More flexibility
Look at
A demo, Google showed, was to use Gemini to compile a list of ingredients for a particular meal in Google Keep and then ask for directions to the local grocery store to pick up the necessary supplies – all very impressive.
Generally, it’s much more flexible and more intelligent than Google Assistant. All your chats in the car are synced back to Gemini on the web and on your phone, so you can pick up where you left off other devices and continue with the conversation.
With Android Automotive (so the version built right into cars), the interface is a little more subtle, with a small pop-up bar showing Gemini. However, the exact look may vary depending on your vehicle and dashboard configuration.
It is not clear exactly when Gemini will appear on Android Auto, but Google has said it is coming soon and we have seen several signs that it is on the way. Gemini is already standard AI assistant on new Android phones.
