Abstract: Implementations configure hologram interactions with vehicle passengers. A hologram manager can configure a hologram to interact with vehicle passengers, alleviate danger, and/or guide vehicle passengers to safety. The hologram manager can select an input modality for the hologram according to sensed conditions. For example, the hologram manager can determine a state of impairment for a passenger using sensed data and machine learning model(s). The hologram manager can then select an input modality according to the state of impairment. The generated hologram can be configured by the hologram manager to interact with the passenger using the selected input modality. For example, an instruction manager can generate a set of instructions using sensed and/or gathered information, and the hologram manager can configure the hologram to provide the instructions to the passenger using the input modality.
