According to Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai), Gemini AI has been integrated as a hands-free driving assistant in the Google Maps app. Users can now find places along their route, check electric vehicle (EV) charging availability, and share their estimated time of arrival (ETA) through voice commands. Notably, Gemini can handle complex, multi-step queries, such as finding nearby vegetarian restaurants with good parking, improving both convenience and safety for drivers. Additionally, Google Maps will feature more landmarks along routes, making navigation clearer and reducing driver confusion. This integration highlights the growing trend of AI-powered personal assistants in smart mobility, presenting new opportunities for businesses in location-based services, EV infrastructure, and digital advertising (Source: @sundarpichai, Twitter, Nov 5, 2025).
