Gemini will use Volvo’s external cameras to interpret parking signs by Andrew J. Hawkins

Gemini is gaining the power of sight and mobility. Today at the I/O conference, Google and Volvo announced that the AI-powered assistant will be able to access external cameras in the upcoming EX60 SUV to help explain and interpret its surroundings to vehicle owners. The upgrade is possible thanks to Volvo’s use of Google’s embedded Android Automotive as its vehicle operating system.

This will be a useful feature. I find myself using Claude to interpret the signs all the time. It would be a better experience if you get it in the car directly.
