Google’s Gemini app is now available in Apple CarPlay.

The AI chatbot’s dedicated app was already available in cars with Google built-in, as well as Android Auto. Now CarPlay users who prefer Google’s chatbot to Siri can use Gemini to manage their calendar or ask questions about the trip ahead. Gemini was already available through Google Maps, and now Apple has made space for it in the main CarPlay display too.

With Gemini Robotics 2.5, robots can “perform significantly more tasks with greater performance and dexterity,” according to Carolina Parada, DeepMind’s head of robotics. The model lets robots combine a “number” of skills, including “advanced tool use, complex manipulation of deformables, and handling delicate objects with finesse,” Parada says.
