GM Shoves Google’s Gemini AI into Cars – Because Apparently Human Drivers Weren’t Annoying Enough
Oh bloody fantastic. GM’s decided that what cars really need in 2026 isn’t better engines, longer range, or fewer recalls — nope — it’s a chatty little Google Gemini AI squatting in your dashboard. Because clearly, nothing says “safety and convenience” like another smug voice assistant listening to you swear at traffic and then offering to schedule your next oil change like some digital butler that’s way too proud of itself.
So here’s the pitch: GM is baking Google’s Gemini (yeah, that shiny new “can do anything” AI) right into its vehicles. It’ll do “personalized experiences” — which is marketing-speak for “it’ll know how late you are for work and still try to sell you coffee near the next exit.” It’ll sync your Google account, take voice commands, handle navigation, bad jokes, and probably judge your music taste while it’s at it.
GM swears it’s all about “safety and innovation.” Translation: “We need a reason to justify bumping prices again.” The cars will apparently learn your habits — which means your damn SUV will know you better than your partner. Yeah, that’s not creepy at all. Next thing you know, it’ll start suggesting therapy sessions after it listens to you shout at your boss on Bluetooth.
So, hooray. The future of driving is a rolling surveillance system with overly polite AI tones pretending to be helpful while quietly feeding your secrets back to the mothership in Mountain View.
Reminds me of the time my coworker thought hooking Alexa into our server room would be “efficient.” Yeah, efficient at broadcasting uptime stats to Jeff Bezos. That went well until she started ordering HDMI cables on her own “to optimize workflow.” Pulled the plug faster than you can say “data breach.”
