Title: Gemini Starts Rolling Out On Android Auto

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/11/07/2256...

Gemini is (finally) rolling out on Android Auto, replacing Google Assistant
while keeping "Hey Google," adding Gemini Live ("let's talk live", message
auto-translation, and new privacy toggles. "One feature lost between
Assistant and Gemini, though, is the ability to use nicknames for contacts,"
notes 9to5Google. From the report: Over the past 24 hours, Google has quietly
started the rollout of Gemini for Android Auto, seemingly starting with beta
users. The change is server-side, with multiple users reporting that Gemini
has gone live in the car. One user mentions that they noticed this on Android
Auto 15.6, and we're seeing the same on our Pixel 10 Pro XL connected to
different car displays, and also on a Galaxy Z Fold 7 running Android Auto
15.7. It's unclear if this particular version is what delivers support, but
that seems unlikely seeing as this very started rolling out last week.
Android Auto 15.6 and 15.7 are currently only available in beta, so it's also
unclear at this time if the rollout is tied to the Android Auto beta or
simply showing up on that version as a coincidence.
