Volvo’s cars will be among the first vehicles to have Gemini integration. Gemini will replace Assistant in these cars later this year. Google will use the car maker as its lead development partner for ​new Android Automotive ​features and updates.

In a series of video demos, Google showed off how people wearing Android XR glasses might interact with apps such as Google Maps. A user asked their glasses’ Gemini AI chatbot for directions, and the device brought up a small hologram-like map at the bottom of the internal display.

Android Studio, the integrated development environment (IDE) for Android app developers, is getting an AI upgrade, Google announced at its developer conference, Google I/O 2025.

Google (GOOGL) is bringing its Gemini AI to Volvo cars. Google parent Alphabet and the Swedish carmaker, two companies that have collaborated for decades, announced a new partnership Wednesday to use Volvo’s vehicles as the lead development partner for the tech giant’s AI division.

You could ask Gemini to translate languages, help with directions, locate specific places, or even explain sections of the car's manual.

Google says Gemini will make interactions in the car feel far more fluid. Instead of issuing stiff, robotic commands — “Navigate to Starbucks” — you’ll be able to speak naturally and combine multiple tasks. For example: “Text Sarah, I’m on my way, and tell me how long it’ll take to get to the Thai place we went to last month.”
