Android Auto 15.1 Beta Introduces Gemini AI and Enhanced UI
Android Auto 15.1 beta is set to revolutionize in-car experiences with the introduction of Gemini AI, a voice-led assistant that enhances navigation and point-of-interest (POI) suggestions. This update aims to reduce distractions, enabling users to interact with their vehicles solely through voice commands. Gemini will leverage precise location data to provide smarter routing and context-rich information on nearby venues, such as menus and reviews. Additionally, Android Auto 15.1 features a visual refresh with a phone-themed UI, incorporating personalized wallpapers and color accents, all designed to offer a calmer aesthetic that minimizes screen clutter and distractions. The beta version will roll out this fall, with broader Android Auto support slated for year-end. This update positions Android Auto to seamlessly integrate with Google’s broader ecosystem, enhancing user convenience and safety on the road.
