General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM) on Tuesday announced that it was rolling out Alphabet Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) artificial intelligence model Google Gemini for over 4 million vehicles in the U.S. across its lineup via an update in the coming months.
In an official statement, GM shared that the company will be rolling out the AI model to all of the GMC, Cadillac, Buick and Chevrolet vehicles starting from the 2022 model year with Google Built‑in. “With Gemini, you can speak naturally without memorizing commands or repeating context,” the statement said.
GM says Gemini would summarize and read incoming texts, as well as send out text messages, help plan routes and play music that fits a mood. The model would also engage in conversation with the drivers to help discuss ideas, among other things, GM said.
To use Gemini, GM says that the users need to be connected to the OnStar service, be signed into the Google Play Store and be using U.S. English as the assistant language. Customers would also need to opt in to Gemini.
