Google is now pushing out Android Auto 14.0 to phones, and while the update doesn't feature anything major in terms of the user-facing interface, it does prepare the way for a big change further down the line: replacing Google Assistant with Gemini.

Other possible ways Gemini could improve your auto experience are by better managing your in-car entertainment system, helping you plan your work day ahead by drafting task lists and scheduling appointments, and much more.

With Android Auto 14.0 rolling out, code spotted in the app suggests that Gemini will soon replace Google Assistant.
