Conversational AIs, or chatbots, mimic human speech when conversing. Smart assistants facilitate the automation of several tasks that needed human intervention earlier. Because of their accuracy, absence of dependence on human resources, and accessibility around the clock, chatbots can be employed in vehicles too. Due to people's propensity to divert their attention away from the task of driving while engaging in other activities like calling, playing music, navigation, and getting updates on the weather forecast and latest news, road safety has declined and accidents have increased as a result. It would be advantageous to automate these tasks using voice commands rather than carrying them out manually. This paper focuses on the development of a voice-based smart assistance application for vehicles based on the RASA framework. The smart assistant provides functionalities like navigation, communication via calls, getting weather forecasts and the latest news updates, and music that are completely voice-based in nature.

翻译：对话式人工智能（即聊天机器人）能在对话中模拟人类语言。智能助手可促进此前需要人工干预的多项任务实现自动化。由于聊天机器人具备准确性高、不依赖人力资源且全天候可用的特点，同样可应用于车辆场景。人们在驾驶时因从事通话、播放音乐、导航、查询天气预报及最新新闻等非驾驶活动而分散注意力，导致道路安全性下降、交通事故增加。通过语音指令而非手动操作实现这些任务的自动化将具有显著优势。本文聚焦于开发基于RASA框架的车载语音智能助手应用。该智能助手提供导航、通话通信、天气及新闻获取、音乐播放等功能，且所有功能均完全基于语音实现。
