Google made a lot of lofty claims about how Gemini for Android Auto was going to make driving better. It’s been a few months now since it rolled out, and one complaint keeps popping up: Gemini talks too much. Let’s fix it. It was announced almost exactly a year ago that Gemini would be coming to Android Auto, but it didn’t start arriving in vehicles until last November. However, it seems that it wasn’t until just recently that the majority of Android Auto users finally received the update. In April alone, there have been several Reddit threads and articles about Gemini’s chattiness. Gemini on Android Auto talks too much No one likes a chatty passenger The problem that people have with Gemini for Android Auto is the same problem that people have with AI in general. It will talk very confidently about anything you ask about, but that confidence has no bearing on the actual value of what it says. In other words, saying a lot without saying anything at all. One Reddit user posted an example of what should have been a simple interaction. They asked Gemini to play a song, and it misheard them. No big deal, it happens. However, Gemini proceeded to go on a lengthy spiel about it. In their words, here’s what Gemini said: "Hmm, I can't find anything matching those exact details.
