Volvo EX60 to add Google Gemini linked to external cameras
Google and Volvo will introduce Gemini-based AI features linked to a vehicle’s external cameras in the next-generation electric SUV EX60. The system is designed to recognise the surrounding environment in real time and explain it by voice, including interpreting complex parking signs when drivers ask questions. Google said the feature could later expand to lane markings, road signs and nearby landmarks. The EX60 will use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and over-the-air updates.
