Alphabet's (GOOG) Google is expanding its partnership with Volvo Cars to more rapidly deliver the latest Android Automotive OS innovations to Volvo customers that own models with the Google Built-In operating system, the Swedish carmaker said Wednesday.
This will include Google Gemini, as demonstrated by the companies on a Volvo EX90 at Google's developer conference on Tuesday, which can be used to compose and translate messages, ask questions from the car's user manual or get details about your destination.
Volvo cars will also be used as one of Google's reference hardware platforms for future Android development in cars, the company said.
Gemini will replace the current Google Assistant in Volvo cars with Google Built-In later this year, the company said.
