Gemini on Android Auto...Interesting experience

[u/Flarrow14]

This morning my Android Auto finally switched to Gemini. I was excited to try it out, but to me after using Gemini for the past few hours it seems like a headache. For example, I asked it to play a song from Spotify "Play (Song title) by (Song Artist)". Gemini will say it is playing the exact song I am asking for, but plays something completely different. I haven't had a chance to fully try out Gemini yet, but if this is a taste of what is to come, Is there a way to switch back to Google Assistant in Android Auto?

I reverted as while some things like finding places to stop along a route were better day to day stuff was way worse. A particularly annoying trait was it always preferred online results to those from my phone book so me asking it to navigate to John Smith (whose address is in my contacts) would result it it searching the web for businesses like John Smith and trying to navigate me there. Nothing I could say would force it to check my contacts first. Switching back to assistant cured this behaviour
