Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence to Gemini in cars, letting it access Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Photos, YouTube, and Search.

Summary

Google is bringing a more personalized version of its Gemini AI to cars through a new feature called Personal Intelligence. Starting with Android Auto and eventually expanding to cars with Google built-in, the update allows Gemini to access information across Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Photos, YouTube, and Search. For example, drivers can ask Gemini about their flight status by pulling details from a Gmail confirmation, or request navigation to a doctor’s appointment or a car wash from a recent photo. Google first brought Gemini to Android Auto last year and to cars with Google built-in in April. Automakers such as Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan, Volvo, and Polestar have shipped vehicles with Google built-in. Personal Intelligence requires users to enable a setting and connect their phone; without it, standard car functions still work but responses are not personalized. The feature is rolling out to Android Auto now, with support for cars with Google built-in coming in the next few months.
