In addition, Waymo will now take advantage of Google's Gemini AI assistant in order to give riders new ways to interact with "cabin controls, journey information, Waymo education, and everyday knowledge at the touch of a button." Waymo stresses that Gemini is independent of Waymo's own software system. Waymo also provides its customers with ultimate privacy, making the Gemini experience an option. If you don't engage with it, Gemini will not be part of the ride experience. The goal is to make it all stress-free, with the menu system providing easier access to key ride information.
