Volvo is deepening its partnership with Google to integrate Gemini AI into its vehicles, enhancing the connected car experience. Announced at Google I/O 2025, this collaboration will bring Google's latest conversational AI to Volvo cars with Google built-in, starting with the EX90.
Replacing Google Assistant later this year, Gemini will enable drivers to interact more naturally with their cars. This includes features like multilingual message translation, user manual queries, and destination-specific information, all while helping reduce driver distraction.
Volvo vehicles will now serve as a reference hardware platform for Android Automotive OS development. This means Volvo customers will be among the first to experience new Android features and performance updates, solidifying Volvo's position at the forefront of smart mobility.
