The topic Google still hasn\u2019t fixed my biggest problem with Gemini on Android Auto [Video]<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Gemini for Android Auto has been divisive, to say the least, but for all of its pros and cons, there\u2019s still one big problem that frustrates me on a frequent basis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Gemini for Android Auto has been a marked improvement over the Assistant, though the bar was very low given Google had pretty much abandoned its prior voice assistant in its Gemini era. But outside of just fixing core functionality, Gemini Live turned out to be one of my favorite upgrades, as having a conversation while behind the wheel was a great way to brainstorm ideas and talk out problems in time that\u2019s otherwise unproductive.<\/p>\n

For all of the good things, though, I still have one problem with Gemini on Android Auto.<\/p>\n

That is to say, Gemini continues speaking after I\u2019ve already completed an interaction. Behind the wheel, voice interactions are useful because they\u2019re all about lessening the amount of time I need to interact with the touchscreen and, in turn, take my eyes off of the road.<\/p>\n

Commands such as \u201cnavigate to [location]\u201d and \u201cadd a stop at [insert name here]\u201d often trigger Gemini to bring up a list of options in Google Maps. Those options are shown on screen in Maps, while Gemini starts talking through the list so you can complete the entire interaction with voice commands. It\u2019s a great combination, but the problem is that Gemini doesn\u2019t stop talking when you choose to interact with the touchscreen instead. If I use Gemini to start the process \u2013 which is the only choice when your vehicle is in motion \u2013 the assistant will keep speaking even if I\u2019ve already selected and confirmed my destination via Maps. \u201cWhich one would you like?\u201d Gemini would say, sitting there waiting for a response despite the options already gone from the display and my route already in place.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that disconnect that frustrates me. Assistant on Android Auto never had this issue, with the touchscreen interactions ending the voice commands because, obviously, the user has already completed what they sought to do in the first place.<\/p>\n

This has been a problem with Gemini for months now, since the very first rollout landed on my devices back in November of last year. And yet, Google hasn\u2019t fixed it. Occasionally I\u2019ll notice that Gemini understands I\u2019ve interacted with the touchscreen instead of it \u2013 imagine that, a manual action in the age of AI agents \u2013 but it\u2019s never consistent.<\/p>\n

Google, please fix this. There are a ton of issues with Gemini on Android Auto, as users have rightfully been calling out, but this one is mind-bogglingly simple and staring you right in the face.<\/p>\n
