    At least KITT was charming, this is just trying to shove AI into as many place as possible…

    I wouldn’t be so pissed if Gemini actually had good audio to text

    Could they just try to make it so it actually works rather than telling me my wife doesn’t exist in my contacts list when I ask it to call her?

      That’s just Gemini trying to break you out of the Matrix. You don’t have a wife. There’s no contact list. Wake up then_three_more!

    There is a simple solution: stop using Android Auto.

      And use what

        Nothing. Perhaps wean yourselves away from it.

    “Smart AI” is like saying “Microsoft Works”…

    How about instead you make it where I’m can constantly connect the first time!

    Good thing I don’t use android auto either then I guess.

    It’s insane to me that there are basically no good options for a secure and private phone from a major manufacturer. All commercial options have some caveats, even Apple. It seems like Google Pixel + Graphene is the only option but you have to do that yourself and it still ONLY supports Google Pixel (for technical reasons, I understand). Literally any laptop can be made secure and private by installing Linux, but with phones your options are severely limited by hardware

      We do have this. Not perfect but a good effort by them. www.braxtech.net

        Pre-order. So it’s not on the market yet.

    I do not normally say this, but please, for the love of fuck, make Gemini a premium feature

      There will now be constant popups for you to upgrade and regular “free trials” that shift around the ui so you use it accidentally, and then go back to normal a week later.

    This is why I didn’t buy a wireless android auto adapter when I bought a different car. I figured Gemini was going to get stuffed down our throats there.

    They couldn’t possibly make it any more garbage than it actually is.

    In the middle of an audio book in any media player but you connect to your car? Too bad! Android Auto is its own separate little world and your playlist position is different in the car vs. out of it.

    Someone sent you a text but ye gods forbid, they sent it before you started driving your car? Too bad! You can’t see past text messages, just the ones that were sent while you were driving. I guess if somebody texted you an address in advance you’ll have to fish your phone out of your pocket.

    Somebody’s calling you who is already in your address book. Too bad! We’ll only show the phone number on the screen and not their contact name.

    Etc., etc.

    Android Auto is basically useless. My car stereo supports both, so I just screen mirror if I actually care about functionality. I only use Android Auto itself when all I want is a map.

      The position thing is the fault of the app developer. I don’t have that issue with Podcast Republic.

        That’s also happened to me many times lol! But honestly this is my only real gripe with Android Auto. I hope Gemini doesn’t make it worse

    Smarter eh? My BP already usually up when driving in traffic. You sure this isn’t just going to piss me off more because I feel like this is just going to piss me off more?
