There are three ways to get an AI assistant in the car: your phone through CarPlay, your phone through Android Auto, or the car’s own system.
| Route | Assistant | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Apple CarPlay | Siri, with ChatGPT handoff on supported iPhones | Apple CarPlay |
| Android Auto | Gemini | Android Auto |
| Built-in | Carmaker assistants, some using ChatGPT or Gemini | Varies by brand |
Tips
- Keep it to voice. Don’t read long answers on screen while driving.
- Check whether built-in features need a paid connected-car plan.
