Overview
- Android Auto drivers report Gemini suddenly going live in more cars on Reddit and Twitter/X.
- You can confirm activation by asking the in‑car voice assistant "who are you."
- Access remains spotty, and a 9to5Google poll found over 90% of about 3,000 respondents still lacked it.
- Early testers describe flaws including trouble choosing between identical locations, the mic stopping listening too soon, failure to register when a touchscreen tap completes a task, and long, chatty replies.
- Google began replacing Assistant with Gemini on Android Auto in November 2025 in a staged rollout that moved slowly for months.
