GM brings Gemini to over four million Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles

Today, GM has announced that it's bringing Google's Gemini AI chatbot to model year 2022 and newer Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles in the US "with Google built-in", which means running Android Automotive. GM says approximately four million vehicles are eligible for this update, which makes it "one of the largest deployments of Gemini in the industry".

As you'd expect, when you get Gemini you can talk to it in a natural way, without needing to memorize specific commands or to repeat any context. "You can debate big ideas, explore random curiosities, and even send texts translated in different languages - all while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road".

The update that brings Gemini to the aforementioned vehicles will unfortunately take several months to arrive on all of them. To use Gemini, if you own one of these vehicles, you need to make sure you're connected to OnStar, signed into the Google Play Store, using US English as your assistant language, and opt into Gemini.

The update will expand to additional GM markets and will support more languages "over time", the company says in its official press release.
