Well yeah my limited experience is an android auto update replaced Assistant with Gemini, and now it can't do anything new, only the same things much slower and with occasional really weird results. Totally worth all the lay offs and resources hogging.

Yes it is much much slower. Ask to navigate it says checking maps or something for a while then does it. Old way it just happened.

I've stopped using the voice commands in android auto since the gemini update. It keeps explicitly asking me to link my ytmusic and maps data to gemini, no thank you. I understand google already has that data, but I dont need it being ingested by gemini
