General Motors will roll out a Google Gemini–powered conversational assistant to its cars, trucks and SUVs starting next year, unveiled at GM Forward in New York. Delivered over the air via the Play Store to OnStar-equipped 2015-and-newer vehicles, it promises more natural voice help, web lookups, and tasks like messaging, multi-stop routing and meeting prep, plus vehicle-aware tips, maintenance alerts and preconditioning. GM calls it a step toward its own in-car AI; other upgrades arrive in 2028. The company says data use will be consent-driven and not sold, and it will test models from firms like OpenAI and Anthropic.
