Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for altering the behavior of an electronic personal assistant 106 based on a situation associated with a mobile device 300. A situation is sensed with a plurality of sensors 102A - 102C to generate sensor data 110A - HOC. A situation score is calculated based on the sensor data. Behavior of the electronic personal assistant 106 is altered based on the calculated situation score. In one aspect, the situation is a driving situation in which a driver drives a vehicle on a roadway. In such case, a driving situation score is calculated based on the sensor data, and behavior of the electronic personal assistant is altered based on the calculated driving situation score, such as suspending interactions by the electronic personal assistant with the driver to avoid the driver being distracted. A user may optionally provide a request 108 to electronic personal assistant 106 verbally. Request 108 is also received by driving situation monitor 302 through electronic personal assistant 106 or is directly received from the user. Under normal circumstances, electronic personal assistant 106 may respond verbally to request 108 with an answer 114. Situation score 112, however, may cause electronic personal assistant 106 to change its behavior. In such case, electronic personal assistant 106 may suspend answer 114 (or other interaction) by not speaking to the user, and/or may alter its behavior in another way. Suspending answer 114 may last at least until driving situation monitor 302 determines electronic personal assistant 106 can resume normal interactions.
