GoKawiilGemini search queries failing on Android Auto for some users
Android Auto users are reporting that Gemini stalls for about 10 seconds when asked a question or search, then gives up without answering. The issue has been seen across Google, Samsung, and Motorola phones, and affected users say common fixes like resetting Android Auto settings or updating their phone don't resolve it. Android Authority says it has contacted Google for comment.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The bug undercuts one of Gemini's core functions—answering questions—in a safety-sensitive, hands-free driving context where reliability matters most. It also adds to a pattern of recent Android Auto glitches, which could erode user confidence in the platform's stability even as Google pushes Gemini as a replacement for Google Assistant.
