Gemini becomes a driving assistant: it answers questions about flights and routes without looking at your phone.

Google has begun globally rolling out a new automotive version of its Gemini assistant designed to function as a hands-free voice co-pilot for drivers. The system integrates directly with personal user data, including Gmail, Google Calendar, and photos, to answer specific queries without requiring the driver to look at a mobile phone.

Referred to as Personal Intelligence, the new feature brings personalized AI capabilities into vehicles worldwide. By accessing personal accounts and media, the in-car assistant is capable of handling complex tasks such as resolving flight and route-related questions safely while driving.
