The rollout wasn\u2019t moving at a rapid pace, leaving users patiently waiting. If you are among them, well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-auto-gemini-rollout-3654591\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here\u2019s the good news<\/a> you\u2019ve been waiting for. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/category\/google-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Google<\/a> is finally switching gears, as Gemini for Android Auto is finally seeing a wide rollout.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s Gemini\u00a0for Android Auto sees a\u00a0wide rollout after a long wait<\/p>\n<p>Many users are reporting on Reddit\u2019s Android Auto sub that they\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AndroidAuto\/comments\/1sahuqz\/finally_getting_gemini_post_your_details_here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">finally seeing Gemini<\/a> on Android Auto. This is a major upgrade, as it replaces Google Assistant, which, in all fairness, is a bit outdated compared to what Gemini is capable of.\u00a0Things now become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/gemini-is-finally-getting-a-wide-rollout-to-android-auto\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more conversational<\/a>, rather than just commands. With just casual conversations, you can squeeze information out of Gemini or get things done during your ride, hands-free.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest ability of Gemini is that it can tap into your Google apps and services to fetch results for users. Google uses an example of asking Gemini <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/category\/tech-news\/artificial-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">AI<\/a> to check your email to find the address and navigate there. Additionally, users can also get place recommendations, notification summaries, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>A major upgrade<\/p>\n<p>That said, not everyone is seeing Gemini just yet. But going by the number of comments from the users who are seeing its appearance, it does look like a big rollout is in progress. One user comments getting Gemini when running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/tag\/android-auto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Android Auto<\/a> version 16.4.661034-release. Although it\u2019s not clear if this is a requirement just yet.<\/p>\n<p>Like with any new release, there seem to be some initial hiccups. Android Auto users who have tried Gemini have mixed opinions. It\u2019s not entirely negative, but there are complaints about lost features and Gemini\u2019s tendency to give long answers. But then, Google will most definitely improve the experience with updates over time, like always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After announcing Gemini for Android Auto back in November last year, things really didn\u2019t take off as one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[554,179439,4331,2306,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-513335","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-andriod-auto","10":"tag-google-gemini","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
