Gemini’s Personal Intelligence is coming to cars

Google kicked off 2026 with the addition of Personal Intelligence to Gemini, allowing its AI to pull in more of your data to formulate answers. It started as a paid feature but eventually came to all Gemini users. However, this feature wasn’t available in the car until now.

谷歌在 2026 年初为 Gemini 增加了“个人智能”（Personal Intelligence）功能，使其人工智能能够调取更多用户数据来生成回答。该功能最初是付费项目，后来向所有 Gemini 用户开放。然而，此功能此前并未在车载系统中使用。

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence to Android Auto and Google Built-in, and it is still, thankfully, an optional feature. As Google points out, a generative AI’s outputs are better “when it knows the world and knows you,” which is correct in an uncomfortable sort of way. The more context you can provide to a model, the better the output will be at the end of the token shuffle.

谷歌目前正在向 Android Auto 和 Google Built-in 系统推送“个人智能”功能，值得庆幸的是，它仍然是一个可选功能。正如谷歌所指出的，生成式人工智能在“了解世界并了解你”时，其输出效果会更好，这种说法虽然正确，但让人感到有些不安。你提供给模型的上下文信息越多，在经过一系列处理后，最终的输出结果就会越好。

Since Google has so much of your data already, it sees Personal Intelligence as a differentiator versus other AI systems. You don’t have to provide the AI context because it already has it from apps like Gmail and Calendar. Personal Intelligence is beginning its rollout in Android Auto today, and it will come to vehicles with Google built-in in the next few months.

由于谷歌已经掌握了你大量的个人数据，它将“个人智能”视为区别于其他人工智能系统的优势。你无需向 AI 提供背景信息，因为它已经能从 Gmail 和日历等应用中获取这些信息。“个人智能”功能从今天开始在 Android Auto 上推出，并将在未来几个月内登陆搭载 Google Built-in 的车辆。

As an aside, “Google built-in” is questionable branding, but it refers to cars that run Google software in the infotainment system rather than projecting an interface from your phone. Very few vehicles have Google built-in, but Google often releases new car features on them first. This time, it’s the other way around.

顺便提一下，“Google built-in”这个品牌名称值得商榷，但它指的是那些在车载信息娱乐系统中直接运行谷歌软件，而不是仅仅投射手机界面的汽车。虽然配备 Google Built-in 的车辆很少，但谷歌通常会优先在这些车辆上发布新功能。而这一次，情况恰恰相反。

Google says Personal Intelligence is a natural fit for the car, allowing you to focus on the road instead of providing detailed instructions to your digital assistant. For example, you can say “take me to my doctor’s appointment,” and Gemini can get that data from your connected calendar. It can also leverage visual analysis to find locations in your photos to begin navigation.

谷歌表示，“个人智能”非常适合车载场景，让你能够专注于驾驶，而不必向数字助理提供详细的指令。例如，你可以说“带我去参加医生的预约”，Gemini 就能从你关联的日历中获取相关信息。它还可以利用视觉分析功能，从你的照片中查找地点并开启导航。

Personal Intelligence is off by default, but it’s possible you’ve turned it on at some point while interacting with Gemini, which has now replaced Assistant on all devices. Google has a habit of nudging users to opt in to data sharing in Gemini, so you may not even realize you’re sharing account data with Gemini, and those settings will transfer over to Android Auto.

“个人智能”默认处于关闭状态，但你可能在与 Gemini 交互时曾开启过它，而 Gemini 目前已取代了所有设备上的 Google Assistant。谷歌习惯于引导用户在 Gemini 中选择共享数据，因此你可能根本没有意识到自己正在与 Gemini 共享账户数据，而这些设置也会同步到 Android Auto 中。

For Google built-in vehicles, you only get personal results if you’ve connected a device over Bluetooth. You will be able to turn this off via in-car settings even if your phone has Personal Intelligence enabled.

对于搭载 Google Built-in 的车辆，只有在通过蓝牙连接设备后，你才能获得个性化结果。即使你的手机开启了“个人智能”，你也可以通过车载设置将其关闭。

There may be other people interacting with the screen in your car, so perhaps you don’t want more of your account data informing replies. The Personal Intelligence options are just one level deep in the Gemini app’s settings. You’re looking for the “Connected Apps” section, where you can toggle Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, etc.), Search, Photos, and more.

车内可能还有其他人会操作屏幕，因此你或许不希望更多的账户数据被用于生成回复。“个人智能”选项位于 Gemini 应用设置的深层菜单中。你需要找到“已关联应用”（Connected Apps）部分，在那里可以切换 Workspace（Gmail、日历等）、搜索、照片等功能的权限。

While Google says it doesn’t use your personal data to train Gemini, it does use your inputs and outputs while using the AI. Some of those outputs can have personal information when you have these services connected, and while the company does attempt to filter that out, it won’t make any promises. The rollout of Personal Intelligence in your car is probably a good opportunity to check your data-sharing settings and make sure you’re comfortable with them.

虽然谷歌表示不会使用你的个人数据来训练 Gemini，但它确实会使用你在使用 AI 时的输入和输出内容。当你关联了这些服务时，部分输出内容可能包含个人信息，尽管该公司确实会尝试进行过滤，但并未做出任何承诺。此次“个人智能”在车载系统中的推广，或许是一个检查数据共享设置并确保你对其感到放心的好机会。
