Google Adds Gemini Live to Apple CarPlay
iPhone users will be able to interact with Google’s AI assistant during trips without taking their eyes off the road.
Google has begun integrating the Gemini app into Apple CarPlay. Thanks to this integration, iPhone owners will be able to use the Gemini Live voice mode directly from their car’s display.
The interface includes sound animation that indicates when the assistant is listening to the user, processing a request, or responding. There are also buttons to mute the microphone and end the conversation. As in the mobile app, users will be able to interrupt Gemini, add details, and change the topic of the conversation.
The assistant allows users to continue a recent conversation or start a new one. All dialogues are synchronized with the Gemini app on the iPhone.
Google suggests using the new feature to check schedules and prepare for meetings, read and summarize emails from Gmail, find nearby establishments, as well as discuss work tasks and explore new topics. The company emphasizes that the interface is designed to minimize driver distraction.
The rollout of Gemini for CarPlay has begun worldwide. The feature is available to iOS users in supported Gemini Live languages. To use it, the Gemini app must be updated to the latest version.
