But outside of just fixing core functionality, Gemini Live turned out to be one of my favorite upgrades, as having a conversation while behind the wheel was a great way to brainstorm ideas and talk out problems in time that\u2019s otherwise unproductive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all of the good things, though, I still have one problem with Gemini on Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It just won\u2019t shut up.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is to say, Gemini continues speaking after I\u2019ve already completed an interaction. Behind the wheel, voice interactions are useful because they\u2019re all about lessening the amount of time I need to interact with the touchscreen and, in turn, take my eyes off of the road. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commands such as \u201cnavigate to [location]\u201d and \u201cadd a stop at [insert name here]\u201d often trigger Gemini to bring up a list of options in Google Maps. Those options are shown on screen in Maps, while Gemini starts talking through the list so you can complete the entire interaction with voice commands. It\u2019s a great combination, but the problem is that Gemini doesn\u2019t stop talking when you choose to interact with the touchscreen instead. If I use Gemini to start the process \u2013 which is the only choice when your vehicle is in motion \u2013 the assistant will keep speaking even if I\u2019ve already selected and confirmed my destination via Maps. \u201cWhich one would you like?\u201d Gemini would say, sitting there waiting for a response despite the options already gone from the display and my route already in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about (\u201cHey Google\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/07\/03\/gemini-android-auto-problem-keeps-listening\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google hasn&#8217;t fixed my biggest Gemini on Android Auto problem https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/07\/03\/gemini-android-auto-problem-keeps-listening\/ Publish Date: 2026-07-03 10:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":285316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/google-gemini-android-auto-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-285315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285315"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285315"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285317,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285315\/revisions\/285317"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
