Google is bringing a more personal version of its Gemini AI assistant to your car

Google is making the Gemini AI assistant that’s already in millions of cars, trucks, and SUVs a lot more personal — a move that could push consumers even deeper into the company’s ecosystem of products.

谷歌正在使其已应用于数百万辆汽车、卡车和 SUV 中的 Gemini AI 助手变得更加个性化，此举可能会促使消费者更深入地使用该公司的产品生态系统。

The company said Tuesday it’s upgrading Gemini in vehicles with a personal intelligence feature that can draw on information from Gmail, Google Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Google Search history, and other connected Google services to understand your preferences, activities, and past experiences.

该公司周二表示，正在为车载 Gemini 升级一项个人智能功能，该功能可以调用来自 Gmail、谷歌日历、YouTube、地图、谷歌搜索历史记录以及其他已关联谷歌服务的信息，以了解用户的偏好、活动和过往经历。

Google said it will roll out “Personal Intelligence with Gemini” to vehicles in two ways — through Android Auto, an app that runs on the user’s phone and wirelessly communicates with and projects navigation, media, and messaging to the vehicle’s infotainment system, and Google Built-in, software and services that have been directly integrated into the vehicle.

谷歌表示，将通过两种方式向车辆推出“Gemini 个人智能”功能：一种是通过 Android Auto，这是一款在用户手机上运行并以无线方式与车辆信息娱乐系统通信，并将导航、媒体和消息投射到该系统的应用程序；另一种是 Google Built-in，即直接集成到车辆中的软件和服务。

The feature will launch in Android Auto, starting today, and expand to cars with Google Built-in in the coming months. Google initially launched Gemini last November in Android Auto. Meanwhile, Gemini’s “Personal Intelligence” feature rolled out across the U.S. in March and is now in beta in global markets.

该功能将从今天开始在 Android Auto 中推出，并将在未来几个月内扩展到配备 Google Built-in 的汽车。谷歌最初于去年 11 月在 Android Auto 中推出了 Gemini。与此同时，Gemini 的“个人智能”功能已于 3 月在美国全面推出，目前正在全球市场进行测试。

This latest upgrade would connect the dots — as Google put it in its blog post — across users’ Google apps. Drivers will have to opt in for Personalized Intelligence to work. Once a user does so, they should expect all sorts of cross-pollination. For instance, a driver who is navigating to the airport may be alerted that the flight on their calendar is delayed.

正如谷歌在其博客文章中所述，这次最新的升级将串联起用户各个谷歌应用中的信息。驾驶员必须选择加入才能使用“个人智能”功能。一旦用户开启，他们便会体验到各种信息的交叉融合。例如，一名正在导航前往机场的驾驶员可能会收到日历中航班延误的提醒。

Google said the feature will allow users to make complex requests using natural language. Returning to that airport example, a user might ask the AI assistant for their flight gate before quickly following up with a question about whether it’s still on time. Gemini will give the user answers to both questions at the same time, the company said.

谷歌表示，该功能将允许用户使用自然语言提出复杂请求。回到刚才的机场示例，用户可以先询问 AI 助手航班登机口，然后紧接着询问航班是否准点。该公司称，Gemini 将同时为用户解答这两个问题。

That level of emmeshing might make consumers uncomfortable, although Google says users do retain full control over their data with Personal Intelligence. The feature can be turned on or off at any time, and users can selectively choose which apps they’d like to connect, Google said.

这种程度的深度融合可能会让消费者感到不安，尽管谷歌表示用户在使用“个人智能”时仍保留对数据的完全控制权。谷歌称，该功能可以随时开启或关闭，用户也可以有选择地决定连接哪些应用程序。
