Google Gemini rolls out in Renault vehicles and outlines US soft‑power tactics

Google’s Gemini artificial‑intelligence assistant has been added to Renault’s connected‑car platform, with Turkish‑language support debuting on June 15 in all markets where Renault sells its models. The integration allows drivers to control climate, navigation and media through natural‑language voice commands and includes a future "Gemini Live" feature for free‑form conversation.

Separately, retired Turkish general Nejat Eslen used Gemini to generate a detailed overview of the United States’ public‑diplomacy strategy, describing how Washington employs soft‑power tools such as cultural exports, academic exchange programmes, targeted media funding and social‑media algorithms to build loyalty among key individuals in target countries.
