Android Auto 14.8 lays groundwork for Gemini AI

Android Auto 14.8 is now rolling out in beta, bringing subtle but significant changes. This update hints at the transition from Google Assistant to Gemini AI and introduces a handy Google Maps feature.
The Android Auto 14.8 beta renames the “Assistant” settings section to “Digital Assistant.” This change is visible immediately after installing the update. It’s a clear sign that Google is preparing to integrate Gemini AI into Android Auto.
However, no functional changes are present yet. The “Manage your digital assistant” section still links to Google Assistant settings. Similarly, “Hey Google” detection and messaging notifications retain the Assistant branding.
The rename to “Digital Assistant” suggests Gemini AI’s debut is near. While Android Auto 14.8 doesn’t include Gemini yet, the groundwork is laid. Google is expected to start rolling out Gemini integration soon, replacing Assistant in Android Auto.
A new Google Maps feature has been spotted in Android Auto. A “Work” shortcut button now appears next to the search bar. This allows quick navigation to a pre-set work address. A “Home” shortcut is likely to accompany it.
Android Auto 14.8 is available in beta for testers. Meanwhile, version 14.7 is reaching more users through the stable channel with the new Google Maps shortcut. These updates show Google’s focus on refining Android Auto’s experience.
