Waymo is testing Gemini as an in-car AI assistant in its robotaxis | TechCrunch
""While digging through Waymo's mobile app code, I discovered the complete system prompt for its unreleased Gemini integration," Wong wrote in a blog. "The document, internally titled 'Waymo Ride Assistant Meta-Prompt,' is a 1,200+ line specification that defines exactly how the AI assistant is expected to behave inside a Waymo vehicle." The feature hasn't shipped in public builds, but Wong says the system prompt makes it clear that this is "more than a simple chatbot.""
"Wong writes the assistant is instructed to possess a clear identity and purpose: "a friendly and helpful AI companion integrated into a Waymo autonomous vehicle" whose primary goal is "to enhance the rider's experience by providing useful information and assistance in a safe, reassuring, and unobtrusive manner." The bot is directed to use clear, simple language and avoid technical jargon, and is instructed to keep its responses succinct to one to three sentences."
App code reveals a complete system prompt for an unreleased Gemini integration, titled 'Waymo Ride Assistant Meta-Prompt,' a 1,200+ line specification defining in-vehicle assistant behavior. The feature has not appeared in public builds but is designed to answer questions, manage certain in-cabin functions like climate control, and reassure riders when required. The assistant is given a clear identity as a friendly, helpful AI companion whose primary goal is to enhance the rider experience safely, reassuringly, and unobtrusively. Responses are to use simple language, avoid technical jargon, and remain succinct at one to three sentences. Waymo has previously used Gemini world knowledge to train vehicles for complex scenarios and says experiments with rider-facing features are ongoing and may or may not be released.
