generative ai voice assistants

Generative-AI conversational assistants in the vehicle: LLM-based chatbots and natural-language voice agents for in-car interaction and dialogue. Concerns AI/LLM-driven conversational capability, distinct from command-based phone calling (mobile_phones), the entertainment platform (infotainment), and phone-projection systems (smartphone_integration_carplay_aa).
