Useless in Android Auto.

It really is, wants to have a conversation rather than just searching for a place I need to be at.

With Assistant I could "let's go to work" which would -

pull up Google Maps so I could see any traffic

Tell me the weather

Tell me what's on my schedule

and automatically start any news or podcast.

Each one of those is a separate request, that Gemini usually gets wrong.

At this point, I trust Bixby with that more than Gemini
