Smarter AI for Offline Car Communication

In-Car AI Agents is an innovative project designed to make in-car artificial intelligence smarter and more responsive in offline scenarios. Currently, most AI-powered car assistants rely on internet connectivity to process commands, leaving drivers without key functionalities in areas with poor or no network coverage. Our solution aims to address this gap by deploying edge-based AI models that can function without Wi-Fi, allowing drivers to interact with their cars using voice commands for basic operations such as controlling the air conditioning, navigation prompts, and music playback. The system uses pre-trained voice recognition models and offline edge computing to deliver real-time responses to the driver’s requests, all processed locally. Additionally, the project explores simple computer vision tasks like lane detection, integrated to run without network dependency. Our vision is to make cars smarter, safer, and more autonomous without requiring constant internet access. By providing an MVP, we aim to showcase how AI in cars can be optimized for offline use, thus improving the overall driving experience in areas where internet connectivity is unreliable.
