  • Google is preparing to bring Gemini to Android Automotive OS too.
  • We’ve previously spotted clues of Gemini’s impending arrival on Android Auto too, and now Google seems to be aiming for the OS built into the in-car infotainment system.
  • The rollout timeline and specific features for Gemini on Android Automotive OS are still unknown.

Google is on a mission to replace Google Assistant with Gemini. This involves swapping in the AI digital assistant on all surfaces that previously relied on Google Assistant. We’ve long discovered that even cars would make the switch, with spottings of Gemini on Android Auto. In fact, we even have demos of Gemini and Gemini Live running on Android Auto. Google has another OS flavor for cars called Android Automotive OS (AAOS) which resides in the in-vehicle infotainment system, and as you would have figured by now, even that will soon get Gemini.
