Google's Latest Android Auto Update Introduces AI-Driven Message Summarization to Enhance Driver Focus
Google is enhancing Android Auto with an AI-powered feature that lets Google Assistant succinctly summarize messages. This innovation aims to reduce distractions while driving by condensing multiple messages, especially from group chats.
Google Assistant can now summarize your messages. These summaries are generated by artificial intelligence, so it's possible there could be errors.
During the set-up process, Google warns that: “These summaries will be generated by artificial intelligence, so it’s possible there could be mistakes.” This is presumably referring to SMS texts and chats from the Google Messages app.

You'll be able to turn this feature on/off in the Android Auto settings.
This new feature appeared in version 14.52 of the Google app, which is currently in beta. It's unclear when this will roll out to everyone.
