Polestar, a Swedish producer of electric performance vehicles, will soon improve its cars by integrating Google Gemini, a new AI voice assistant. This update will initially be available in the Polestar 2. A demonstration of Gemini will take place in the Polestar 5 at the Slush conference, a major technology event in Europe.
Sid Odedra, who leads UI/UX at Polestar, highlighted the significance of this partnership with Google. He mentioned, “Our collaboration demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the digital experience in our vehicles. Gemini provides the next level of AI voice interaction, and we are eager to showcase how it will improve the driving experience.”
Gemini will replace the old Google Assistant in all Polestar vehicles. It uses generative AI to offer a smoother conversational experience. Besides standard commands, Gemini includes an interactive feature called Gemini Live. Users can say, “Hey Google, let’s talk,” to brainstorm ideas, ask follow-up questions, and explore new topics while driving.
Haris Ramic, Director of Product Management at Google, expressed his enthusiasm about the ongoing collaboration, stating, “We have worked with Polestar for years to bring new technology to connected cars. We’re excited to introduce Gemini in the Polestar 5 and demonstrate it at the Slush conference.”
Polestar and Google teams will be together at the Slush event on 19-20 November 2025, in Helsinki, Finland. Attendees will see how Gemini operates in the Polestar 5 at the Polestar display area. Polestar users can expect to access Gemini starting in 2026, initially supporting U.S. English.
