Android Auto is getting a Gemini upgrade, but only if you use a Pixel
Google has confirmed that Gemini on Android Auto is adding “proactive suggestions” soon, but only for Pixel users.
Gemini Intelligence on Pixel phones will be extending to Android Auto, Google says, with “personalized suggestions when you need them.”
And if you have a Pixel phone with Gemini Intelligence, it will soon bring proactive suggestions to Android Auto — connecting the dots across your apps to surface helpful, personalized suggestions when you need them. For example, if your friend texts you to ask where you are meeting for a pilates class, Gemini Intelligence on Android Auto can find your confirmation email and instantly suggest sending the address with a single tap.
Google first announced this earlier this year, and recent updates have set the stage for a rollout.
Importantly, Google says this is exclusive to “Pixel phone[s] with Gemini Intelligence,” which includes only the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series for now. Google started expanding key Gemini Intelligence features to the Pixel 10 series with this month’s Pixel Drop.
