Volvo Cars Will Introduce Google Gemini In Its Cars
Volvo Cars has announced an expanded partnership with Google aimed at accelerating the rollout of new Android Automotive OS innovations in its vehicles. Central to this next phase of collaboration is the introduction of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s latest conversational AI, which will be integrated into Volvo models with Google built-in—beginning with the all-electric Volvo EX90.
Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, the partnership signals a major step forward in the development of intelligent, voice-driven vehicle interfaces. Gemini, set to replace Google Assistant in Volvo vehicles later this year, allows drivers to engage in more natural and intuitive conversations, reducing distractions and supporting a safer, more seamless driving experience.
Using conversational AI, drivers will be able to compose and translate messages, interact with the car’s user manual, and ask detailed questions about their journey or destination—all hands-free and in real time.
Enhancing User Experience
“For years, Google and Volvo Cars have collaborated closely to bring cutting-edge technology to connected cars,” said Patrick Brady, Vice President of Android for Cars at Google. “This deepened partnership will speed up innovation and improve the driving experience for Volvo customers while setting new standards for the industry.”
In a further development, Volvo Cars will now serve as one of Google’s reference hardware platforms for Android development in vehicles. This gives Volvo early access to new features and updates, enabling its customers to be among the first to enjoy the latest Android functionality, performance improvements, and user interface innovations.
This move not only strengthens Volvo’s position as a leader in in-car technology, but also contributes to broader advancements in the connected car space—benefiting the global automotive industry and drivers worldwide.
Driving Innovation Forward
With this integration of Google Gemini into Volvo cars, the driving experience is set to reach new heights of convenience and interactivity. Volvo's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the automotive industry is evident through this partnership with Google. As Volvo continues to push boundaries in innovation, customers can look forward to a more seamless and connected driving experience that prioritizes safety and user satisfaction.
