Google has extended its Gemini AI assistant, first launched for Android Auto last year, to users of Apple CarPlay. The new conversational navigation feature is now live for drivers in the United States, and the company says a worldwide rollout is also under way, though it has not disclosed exact regional timelines.
After nearly a year of development, CarPlay users can now speak directly to Google Maps’ voice assistant to receive hands‑free assistance while on the road. The system can handle multi‑step requests, such as suggesting points of interest and then providing directions that avoid toll roads. The Verge reported the update.
