Following Google’s launch of the Gemini assistant for Google-equipped vehicles, auto manufacturer Polestar has now confirmed that Gemini will arrive for its own vehicles. The update has now started seeding to Polestar models in the US with Google accounts set to US English. Hans Bleckert, Connected Car Manager at Polestar, comments:
Google Gemini represents a fundamental shift for Polestar drivers and how they interact with their vehicles. Together with Google, we replace outdated command structures with an advanced AI model that enables free-flowing conversation between Polestar vehicles and drivers. And this is only the beginning. With Gemini, we enter a new period of possibilities with the focus on creating better user experiences.
The update will give drivers and passengers a more natural, hands-free assistant interaction, including support for route planning, answering general queries, and more. Eligible Polestar drivers will see an option on their display to update to Gemini or decline. Polestar adds that the update will be available on all Polestar models except the Polestar 1.
In related news, General Motors recently announced that it was bringing Gemini to select car models, which includes around 4 million vehicles within the United States.
