Google integrated a feature that will upgrade your drive – but there's a critical problem

Google launches a 'Personal Intelligence' feature for cars, allowing the AI assistant to pull emails, photos, and calendar for voice navigation. The article notes privacy concerns and a language barrier in Hebrew.

Google is launching a 'Personal Intelligence' feature for Android Auto and cars with Google built-in, allowing the Gemini AI assistant to pull personal information from the user's email inbox, calendar, photos, and maps. The driver can ask complex questions in natural voice, such as 'What is my boarding gate?' or 'Take me to the car wash I photographed last week,' and the system will cross-reference information from different sources. The article notes two main limitations: the privacy issue, since enrollment is opt-in but once approved Google gains access to personal content; and the language barrier, as the system works best in English and struggles to decipher complex queries in Hebrew. The service is being rolled out gradually and will arrive in the coming months.
