Digest more
Google will add its artificial intelligence-powered assistant Gemini into Google Maps, making it possible for drivers to get answers to more complex questions.
Google Maps has a new live lane guidance feature that uses cameras and AI to see the road and tell you when to change lanes, but it’s limited to the Polestar 4.
On Wednesday, Google rolled out a bunch of updates to its Maps app that promise to use its Gemini chatbot to make navigating places just a little easier. The big one: You can now converse with Gemini right in the Google Maps app to ask for nearby restaurants, available EV chargers along your route or what have you.
The live lane guidance feature in Google Maps is coming first to Polestar 4 cars in the US and Sweden.
