- Google announces AI chatbot Gemini integration.
- Volvo expands partnership with Google for Gemini.
- Natural conversations about cars with Gemini.
- Gemini enhances driver assistance and features.
- Volvo as reference platform for automotive tech.
- Cars as important platform for AI development.
This partnership expands Volvo’s existing collaboration with Google, which previously included the Android Automotive operating system.
