This paper describes ongoing work by KTH Speech, Music and Hearing in GetHomeSafe, a newly inaugurated EU project in collaboration with DFKI, Nuance, IBM and Daimler. Under the assumption that drivers will utilize technology while driving regardless of legislation, the project aims at finding out how to make the use of in-car technology as safe as possible rather than prohibiting it. We describe the project in general briefly and our role in some more detail, in particular one of our tasks: to build a system that can ask the driver if now is a good time to speak about X? in an unobtrusive manner, and that knows how to deal with rejection, for example by asking the driver to get back when it is a good time or to schedule a time that will be convenient., tmh_import_13_01_02, tmh_id_3718 QC 20130520
