Waymo’s self-driving cars get Gemini integration, so you have someone to talk to

TL;DR Waymo has added Gemini integration to its Ojai self-driving cars. Passengers can ask Gemini for information, suggestions, or to pull over the car. ” Self-driving cars can be great, especially for introverts who don’t want to talk to anyone on their taxi ride, and Waymo is one of the major companies offering self-driving cabs in the US.

Now, the company is trying to make the passenger experience even better with a useful new feature: Gemini integration. The company has announced that it’s finally bringing Gemini to its cars. Passengers can now use Gemini to control things like the music or cabin temperature.

They can also ask Gemini for suggestions about the neighborhood they are driving through or get additional information on a monument or building along their route. Additionally, they can request Gemini to pull the car over. However, Gemini cannot control any aspect of the vehicle’s movement or routing, and does not have access to the real-time driving data.
