"GM's integration with Gemini is the next logical step for the automaker. Vehicles produced by GM brands Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC already have "Google built-in," an operating system that gives drivers access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and other apps directly from the car's infotainment screen. In 2023, Google began using Google Cloud's Dialogflow chatbot to handle non-emergency OnStar features, including common driver queries like routing and navigation assistance."
"It's not entirely clear how much more capable GM's Gemini-powered AI assistant will be. GM provided few details, only saying that it will have more "natural conversations" and allow drivers to draft and send messages, plan routes with additional stops (like a charging station or a favorite coffee shop), "or even prep for a meeting on the go." TechCrunch has reached out for clarification."
General Motors will add a Google Gemini conversational AI assistant to Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC vehicles starting next year. The Gemini rollout is among planned tech upgrades; larger electrical architecture and automated driving changes are delayed until 2028. Other automakers are adopting generative AI assistants, including Stellantis with Mistral, Mercedes with ChatGPT, and Tesla with xAI's Grok. Many GM vehicles already use Google-built infotainment offering Google Assistant, Google Maps, and apps; Google used Dialogflow in 2023 to power non-emergency OnStar queries. GM said Gemini will offer more natural conversations and enable drafting messages, planning routes with added stops, and prepping for meetings on the go.
