Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        It is prime time for holiday travel and Google is offering some AI assistance.   The company’s Robert Ferrara says the new Gemini Live conversational AI can help with planning and even help with things like recipes or dealing with difficult relatives.   And on the roads…Google Maps is smarter than ever..

“There’s new weather disruption features as well.   So you can actually use Google Maps to just take a look at any weather related road closures.  Whether it’s unplowed roads, flooded roads, helpful information about traffic conditions, any potential delays that might impact your trip.  Another big thing, too, is if you have an electric vehicle you can actually plan your trip with charging stops along the way, which is incredible.”
