Voice controls in new Honda models just took a big step forward with the introduction of Google Gemini™. The Google AI assistant is replacing Google Assistant™ in select new Honda vehicles equipped with Google built in. Instead of memorizing precise commands, drivers will now be able to speak more naturally. The team at Heritage Honda Parkville explains this groundbreaking new technology.
How Can Google Gemini™ Help You?
The biggest difference between Google Gemini™ and Google Assistant™ is that Gemini™ remembers context as a conversation progresses. For example, you can now ask for restaurants along your route, inquire about the hours of one suggestion, and then choose it as your destination. Now there’s no need to repeat the restaurant name or restate your original request each time.
These capabilities are taken even further with the introduction of advanced Gemini Live™, which brings longer, free-flowing conversations to the table. Drivers can say, “Hey Google, let’s talk,” and get assistance with planning a weekend getaway, brainstorming for a work meeting, finding activities in a new location, or summarizing recent news stories. Access requires signing into your Google account.
