Volvo Expands Partnership with Google for In-Car AI Integration

Volvo is deepening its collaboration with Google by integrating the tech giant’s AI assistant, Google Gemini, into its vehicles. While the partnership between the two companies has been ongoing for years, this latest development marks a significant leap forward. Volvo cars equipped with Google’s infotainment system will now benefit from enhanced AI-driven functionality designed to improve the overall driving experience.

Enhanced Driving Experience with Google Gemini

By incorporating Google Gemini, Volvo becomes one of the first automakers to embed this advanced AI assistant directly into its vehicles. The system allows for more natural voice interactions, enabling drivers to compose and translate messages, ask for destination details, and more—all hands-free. This reduces cognitive distractions and helps drivers maintain focus on the road, enhancing both safety and convenience.

A People-First Approach to Automotive Innovation

According to Alwin Bakkenes, Volvo’s Head of Software, this integration reflects Volvo’s commitment to offering “technology that puts people first.” The company aims to be at the forefront of bringing cutting-edge capabilities from the tech ecosystem into the automotive world. Together with Google, Volvo is working on further innovations to define the future of connected mobility.
