Google is taking a step in expanding the reach of its Gemini AI by integrating it into vehicles and Wear OS smartwatches.
Announced ahead of Google I/O 2025, this move is meant to signal the tech giant’s ambitions to create a seamless AI experience across all personal devices.
Starting with vehicles, Google is bringing Gemini to Android Auto. Drivers will be able to use Gemini for hands-free tasks like drafting and sending messages, planning routes, and getting summaries of incoming content, all without needing to pick up their phones.
The focus is on reducing distractions and enhancing safety while keeping drivers connected.
On the smartwatch front, Gemini is coming to Wear OS, providing users with on-the-go access to Google’s latest AI capabilities. Whether it’s getting quick answers, managing tasks, or setting reminders, users will soon be able to interact with Gemini right from their wrists.
This follows a growing trend of making AI assistants more personal and accessible, directly through wearable devices.
The expansion of Gemini into cars and wearables is part of Google’s broader strategy to integrate AI deeply into everyday life. It follows the rollout of Gemini on Android smartphones earlier this year, where it replaced Google Assistant as the primary AI tool on select devices.
Now, Google is ensuring that wherever users are driving, walking, or working out, they can still access powerful AI tools easily.
Google is positioning Gemini as a true personal assistant for the modern era, not just another smart speaker add-on.
By embedding it into more contexts, the company hopes to stay ahead in the highly competitive AI space, especially as rivals like Apple and OpenAI prepare major updates to their own AI platforms.
While Google has yet to provide a firm release date for Gemini’s arrival on Android Auto and Wear OS, more details are expected to be shared during Google I/O 2025.
Users can expect a gradual rollout, starting with Pixel devices and expanding to broader ecosystems later in the year.
