Implementations described herein relate to enabling natural language communications with an autonomous vehicle. In some implementations, processor(s) of a system can initiate and conduct a conversation with a remote communication participant that is located remotely from the autonomous vehicle whereas, in additional or alternative implementations, the processor(s) can answer an incoming electronic communication and conduct a conversation with a remote communication participant that is located remotely from the autonomous vehicle. In other additional or alternative implementations, the processor(s) can also conduct conversations with a local communication participant that is located proximate to the autonomous vehicle. Notably, the processor(s) can be implemented locally at the autonomous vehicle or remotely from the autonomous vehicle (e.g., at a remote server).
