Google’s bringing Gemini to your car with Android Auto

 TechCrunch, here. 

I was wondering whether the Bundeskartellamt proceeding covers Gemini for Android Auto at all. ("In Commitment 1 (“Interoperability with GAS”), Google undertakes to create and provide
the technical conditions to enable the Google Maps, Google Play and Google Assistant
services contained in GAS, collectively referred to as the “GAS Software Components”29,
to interoperate with voice assistants, map services and app stores of third-party suppliers
in IVI Systems in an equivalent way and to an equivalent extent as the GAS software
components interoperate with each other and that they are thus fully interoperable with
services of other suppliers. Google will make the necessary APIs, terms of service for the
use of the APIs and the documentation required for the implementation available to vehicle
manufacturers and their suppliers"

"The commitments impose on Google further obligations within the meaning of Article 1(6)
sentence 2(b) DMA, as they either concern Google services which are not listed in the
European Commission’s decision of 5 September 2023 as core platform services repre-
senting an important gateway for business users to reach end users, or as they concern
Google Maps or Google Play but represent further obligations with regard to Google Maps
and Google Play compared with those currently applicable to Google under the DMA"

Google enjoys paramount significance for competition across markets

The 173-page decision by the Bundeskartellamt determining Google's status of addressee of Section 19 (a) GWB has been published and even translated into English. The company's "paramount significance for competition across markets" has been confirmed (and accepted by Google itself). Much to read and ponder on (already not clear - at least to me -  how much Google in the end had to pay for the proceedings).
