Google's Gemini voice assistant comes to Apple CarPlay worldwide

Google announced that its Gemini voice assistant is now part of Apple's CarPlay. The feature is rolling out to iOS Gemini users worldwide, in every language Gemini Live supports.

Tap the Gemini icon on the CarPlay screen to start a voice chat. Users can interrupt, add details, or switch topics at any time, and pause it when they need to focus on the road. Chats sync to the Gemini app on the iPhone, so notes and summaries can be reviewed after parking.

Gemini also connects to Gmail and Google Calendar, helping users check their day, get daily briefings, and sum up unread emails. It can also suggest nearby restaurants, share landmark info, or help practice speeches and prep for meetings.

To use it, update the Gemini app to the latest version, allow microphone access, and try Gemini Live on the phone once. Then connect to CarPlay and start talking from the car screen.
