A smart towing assistant provides towing-related information to a user associated with towing of a towable object by a vehicle. A chatbot of the smart towing assistant engages in a conversation with the user to answer towing-related questions and provide towing-related information, including towing-related safety information, steering and driving information, and information related to towing insurance. The smart towing assistant may also detect instances of towing activity, and corresponding towing usage information can be used to determine billing amounts associated with usage-based towing insurance. The smart towing assistant may also provide lane assist detection associated with towing of a towable object by a vehicle, to alert a driver of detected towing-related safety issues.
