RotaBot AI Road Assistant & App Features

RotaBot — AI Road Assistant

Truck-Safe Route Planning

Routes calculated via HERE Maps — specifically for trucks. Accounts for your vehicle's height, weight, length, tunnel category, and HAZMAT restrictions. No more surprises at low bridges or restricted roads.

Real-Time Traffic Incidents

Live accidents, road works, and closures from TomTom — before you hit them. Stay ahead of delays with up-to-date road intelligence.

Active Route

Set one account-wide journey and ask about progress, remaining distance, traffic, and useful stops without repeating your destination.

Truck Services Ahead

Find truck parking, workshops, rest areas, and other useful stops along the next part of your route, with provider details shown when available.

Nearby Places

Search around your current position or an explicitly named location. RotaBot keeps the result source and useful actions clear.

Weather on Route

Open-Meteo conditions can enrich Road Ahead answers with rain, snow, fog, wind, and temperature context when relevant.

German Autobahn Status

Roadworks and Blockabfertigung (truck metering) context from the official Autobahn GmbH API when your journey involves German roads.

Knows Your Truck

Set up your vehicle profile once — height, weight, axle count, tunnel category, HAZMAT class. RotaBot uses it automatically for every route query. Available in 11 languages and free to use.

Social Feed: Real-Time Road Intelligence

Voice-First Posts

Record up to 60-second voice posts, share photos (up to 4), videos (up to 3 minutes), or write text updates about road conditions, traffic alerts, or driving tips. Voice remains the primary format - keeping your hands on the wheel - but you can enrich posts with photos, videos, and text.

Auto Location Tagging

Posts are automatically tagged to your current location. No manual input needed - just record and share.

Smart Filtering

Filter posts by Global (all posts), Route (specific highways), or Nearby (posts close to you). Find exactly what you need, when you need it.

Community Voting

Mark posts as helpful or not helpful. Community votes surface the most valuable road intel to the top.

Flexible Expiration

Choose how long your post stays visible: 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or forever. Keep information fresh and relevant.

Easy Sharing

Share posts via deep links. Help spread important road information to friends and fellow drivers.

Core Communication

Real-time Voice Channels

Instantly join public channels based on your route, region, or specific topics. Connect with fellow drivers in real-time.

Hands-Free & Safe

Designed specifically for drivers. Communicate, share traffic alerts, and get road updates, all hands-free.

Dual Player (Mini & Maxi)

Keep conversations in a draggable “Mini Player” overlay while browsing, or expand to “Maxi Player” for full controls.

Haptic Feedback

Feel your microphone status (on/off) with haptic vibrations, so you never have to look at the screen.

Live Map & Discovery

Go Live Location Sharing

Take complete control of your location visibility. Tap “Go Live” to share your location with others in your channel. Your location sharing is manual, session-based, and automatically stops when you leave a channel or close the app.

Live Main Map

Discover other users who are “Live” on the main map. To see others on the map, you must first share your own location by going “Live” - creating a fair and reciprocal system.

In-Channel Map

See the live locations of users in your voice channel who have chosen to “Go Live” and share their location.

Speaker Spotlight

Toggle the channel map to either focus on the current speaker or show all users in the channel.

Auto-Move (Compass Mode)

Let the map automatically center on and follow your location as you drive.

Community & Social Networking

Channel Management

Search for channels, add them to your favorites for quick access, or request new channels for your community.

User Profiles

View other users' profiles, share your own, and invite friends to the app via DeepLink.

User-to-User Blocking

Take control of your experience with mutual blocking. When you block someone, you're both hidden from each other across all maps, channels, and communications.

Report Users & Content
