Google is bringing Gemini Intelligence to Android Auto for eligible Pixel users, ZDNet reported. The feature gathers information from phone apps and surfaces it on the car's infotainment screen. Google's example shows the assistant finding a confirmation email after a friend asks by text where they are meeting, then offering to send the information with one tap. The Android Auto feature is restricted to eligible Pixel phones. Other Android users can use Personal Intelligence, which connects Gemini to Google services such as Maps, Photos and Gmail; Gemini Intelligence also draws on phone messages.
