Abstract

Embodiments are described for determining and responding to driver distractions. An example in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle includes an external device interface communicatively connecting the in-vehicle computing system to a mobile device, an inter-vehicle system communication module communicatively connecting the in-vehicle computing system to one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive image data from the mobile device, and determine a driver state based on the received image data. The instructions are further executable to receive vehicle data from one or more of the vehicle systems, determine a vehicle state based on the vehicle data, determine a distraction severity level based on the driver state and the vehicle state, and control one or more devices of the vehicle to perform a selected action based on the distraction severity level.
