So Mercedes just rolled out an in-car assistant powered by Google’s Gemini, and it’s honestly one of the biggest “AI meets automotive” jumps we’ve seen so far. This isn’t just voice commands; it’s contextual reasoning, natural conversation, and real-time help inside the MBUX system.

Has anyone tried it yet? How responsive is the assistant compared to Siri/Alexa or the older MBUX voice?
