Gemini has previously appeared on Android Auto, and Gemini and Gemini Live testing has also been discovered operating on the platform.
However, Android Auto is not Google's only car operating system. The tech giant also owns a more specialized platform, Android Automotive OS (AAOS) - an operating system that is directly embedded in the car's central entertainment system.
According to what has just been discovered in the Google Assistant app update for cars version 13.1.244, Google is preparing to bring Gemini to Android Automotive OS.
The code in this application clearly shows: Android Automotive OS will soon be converted from Google Assistant to Gemini. Although Google has not made an official announcement, all signs suggest that the launch date is not far away.
Currently, Gemini on Android Auto is still in development, with the ability to respond to search queries still quite general and lacking practical suggestions for drivers. However, Gemini has done well in basic tasks such as playing music from Spotify, showing that it has enough potential to replace Google Assistant in traditional tasks.
With Android Automotive OS, users expect Google to improve Gemini's current shortcomings before widely rolling out. The appearance of Gemini on this platform will be a big step forward in Google's AI strategy in the automotive field.
