On Wednesday, October 21, 2026 local time, Google announced the integration of Google AI “Gemini” into the “Google Maps” app on Apple’s in-car display-dedicated UI, “CarPlay.”
While Apple’s voice assistant “Siri” serves as the primary assistant on “CarPlay,” “Gemini” has now been integrated into the “Google Maps” app, allowing users to search for spots and give navigation commands through natural conversation. Just like the “Gemini” integration in the “Google Maps” app navigation on Android and iOS, users can now utilize “Gemini” within the “Google Maps” app on “CarPlay.”
Meanwhile, on Google’s in-car OS “Android Auto,” “Gemini” is already integrated at the system level, and users can even take advantage of the intuitive conversational feature “Gemini Live.”
