## Summary

Google has brought its conversational Gemini assistant to Google Maps on Apple CarPlay, giving drivers hands-free help with navigation and other questions. The feature lets users ask follow-up questions while driving, such as requesting places to visit and then directions that avoid toll roads.

The feature is available to US drivers today, with a global rollout also under way, though Google has not specified which regions are included. Drivers can start Gemini by tapping its icon on their car’s infotainment display; it can also help report traffic disruptions and find information about places and stops. Google has not said whether CarPlay will get the separate Personal Intelligence features announced for Android Auto and cars with Google built-in.
