1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising;
detecting a communication event for a passenger inside a vehicle; and
responsive to detection of the communication event, facilitating communication with the passenger via a mobile device of the passenger, wherein facilitating communication with the passenger via the mobile device of the passenger includes providing, via an output functionality of the vehicle, an instruction to the passenger to launch an application on the mobile device that has access to and that enables one or more communication functionalities of the mobile device,wherein the one or more communication functionalities comprises a button functionality enabled by one or more physical or virtual buttons of the mobile device, andwherein the mobile device is configured to associate a respective response with each of the one or more buttons to a question presented to the passenger via the output functionality of the vehicle or an output functionality of the mobile device.
