Volvo and Google expand partnership with new Gemini AI...
The latest development in the collaboration between Volvo and Google involves the introduction of Gemini, a new connected service that will replace the existing Google Assistant in Volvo cars later this year.
The partnership between Volvo and Google has been expanded to include the implementation of Gemini in Volvo vehicles. Google Gemini, an AI-generated service, was unveiled at a Volvo EX90 during Google's I/O conference earlier this year.
Owners of Volvo cars equipped with Gemini will have the ability to engage in conversations with the AI while driving. They can utilize Gemini to compose and send messages, translate text into various languages, access information from the car's manual, and obtain specific details about their destination.
Enhancing the Driving Experience
According to Patrick Brady, the vice president for Android for Cars at Android, the partnership between Google and Volvo aims to introduce cutting-edge technology to connected vehicles. This collaboration is set to accelerate innovation, ultimately enhancing the driving experience for Volvo customers and potentially establishing new standards within the automotive industry.
The integration of Gemini is designed to assist drivers in maintaining focus on the road by minimizing distractions. Alwin Bakkenes, the head of global software engineering at Volvo Cars, emphasized the importance of delivering technology that is centered around the needs of users.
Future of Connected Cars
Through the collaboration with Google, Volvo aims to provide customers with an exceptional and intuitive user experience. By incorporating features and capabilities from Google's consumer ecosystem, Volvo can offer the latest advancements to its customers ahead of the competition.
With the upcoming integration of the Gemini system, Volvo cars will see the replacement of the current Google Assistant with Google built-in, further solidifying the partnership's commitment to innovation.
