Abstract
Managing text message communications in vehicles using artificial intelligence is provided. Communication metrics are sent from a server to a plurality of vehicles, defining indications of text message events that may affect driver and communication effectiveness. The server receives, from the vehicles, aggregated text message data and high-fidelity text message data collected by the vehicles in response to the occurrence of text message events. The high-fidelity text message data is analyzed using an AI-based text analysis service to determine updated communication metrics. This analysis employs machine learning techniques with delayed feedback based on user interactions and real-world outcomes. The updated communication metrics are provided to the plurality of vehicles to aid in the detection and modification of text messages, enhancing communication quality. The system includes user-configurable preferences, encryption for privacy, and adaptive learning to increase effectiveness over time.
