Google Gemini voice assistant fails on Android Auto calls

Users of Android Auto report that Google’s Gemini AI assistant cannot place voice‑initiated calls, displaying the error “Something went wrong. Please try again.” The problem also appears on some Android phones and is not resolved by clearing app data or resetting the infotainment system. Affected users have temporarily switched back to Google Assistant, with some restoring functionality by uninstalling the latest Gemini update.

The issue has been discussed on Reddit and other forums, but Google has not yet commented. It highlights stability challenges for Gemini as the service expands across devices and enterprise applications.
