Asked the Android Auto google assistant a question this morning "What time is it in Las Vegas" and yes, it answered, but it also started asking me WHY I wanted to know: "It is 3:15pm in Las Vegas. You're driving, are you heading to Las Vegas or are you just curious?" NO. NO. NO.

oh yes, mine switched over to gemini rather then the boring but amazinging reliable android auto assistant. No thank you I don't want to have "natural conversations" with my car. I want you to txt person X that I'm on my way and show my maps on the screen.
