With the arrival of Google Gemini on select new Honda models, talking to your car is getting closer to having an actual conversation. This advanced feature replaces Google Assistant in select new Honda cars with Google built in, bringing a different kind of hands-free assistance to MotorWorld Honda drivers. The AI assistant can understand follow-up questions while retaining details from earlier in the conversation.
One Request Can Lead to the Next
With previous in-car AI assistants, drivers needed to use specific requests. The addition of Google Gemini changes that. Say you’re headed to the beach, and you realize you left your towel at home. You could ask Gemini to locate stores along your route that sell beach towels, choose one of the suggestions, ask how late it’s open, and request directions. Gemini can follow the thread without requiring you to explain the situation again with every question. It can even handle requests that contain multiple pieces of information and ask for clarification when necessary. Drivers can easily access Gemini after pairing eligible vehicles with their Google accounts.
Brainstorm with Gemini Live
Google Gemini Live is geared toward longer conversations. For example, you might be driving to a garden center and use the trip to talk through ideas for a backyard project, considering different plants or determining what supplies are necessary. Other possibilities include discussing plans for an upcoming vacation, developing ideas for a presentation, or learning about a destination before you arrive. Simply begin a free-flowing conversation by stating, “Hey Google, let’s talk.”
