Assistance can be provided to users of AVs based on user sentiments. A system may receive a request for assistance from a user of an AV (e.g., a passenger of the AV). The system may also receive sensor data that is captured by a sensor suite of the AV from detecting the user, the AV, or another object. The system determines a sentiment of the user based on the sensor data. The system may input the sensor data into a machine learning model and the model outputs information indicating the user's sentiment. The system can determine who, when, or how to service the user's request based on the user's sentiment. The system may assign the user's request to an agent who can provide the assistance. The system can further provide guidance (e.g., suggested content of a conversation with the user) to the agent based on the user's sentiment.

Assistance can be provided to AV users through projection of graphical figures. A system may receive a request for assistance from a user of an AV. The system assigns the request to an agent who can assist the user. The system further provides a graphical representation (e.g., an avatar) of the agent to a device that can project the graphical representation to the user. The user can have a conversation with the graphical representation, e.g., based on information provided by the agent. The system can also provide an audio filter to the device for modifying an audio content presented by the device so that the modified audio content appears as if it is made by the graphical representation. The device may be a part of the AV or a client device of the user that can present VR, AR, or MR content. The device may be mobile.
