Waymo is testing Google’s Gemini AI as an in-car assistant in its robotaxis, aiming to enhance the ride experience by providing assistance and useful information to passengers. Gemini, designed as a friendly AI companion, can manage in-cabin features like climate control while maintaining a clear distinction from Waymo’s autonomous driving technology. This integration, still in testing, underscores Waymo’s efforts to improve rider comfort and interaction within its driverless vehicles.
