The Skeptic

The lack of Personal Intelligence features in CarPlay's Gemini could limit its utility, as users may need to manually input more information than Android Auto users, increasing driver distraction.

Google has extended its Gemini AI assistant to Apple CarPlay, enabling conversational navigation and multi-step queries in the US, with global rollout pending. It remains unclear if CarPlay users will get the new Personal Intelligence features available on Android Auto; confirmation from Google would clarify this.
