Vehicle human machine interface in response to strained eye detection

A system includes a pattern recognizing module that identifies a pattern based on at least one of: (i) a movement of a driver of a vehicle, (ii) an object in front of the vehicle, (iii) a status of the vehicle, and (iv) an action of the vehicle. The pattern corresponds to a pattern response. A safety module compares the pattern response to a safe maneuver database. The pattern response is classified as safe in response to the pattern response matching at least one safe pattern response of the safe maneuver database. A pattern integration module integrates the pattern and the pattern response into a pattern database in response to the pattern response matching the at least one safe pattern response of the safe maneuver database. A vehicle control module performs the pattern response in response to the pattern recognizing module identifying the pattern.

Systems and methods for automated vehicle driving that mimic safe driver behaviors

A system in a vehicle comprising one or more sensors configured to obtain cognitive-load data indicating a cognitive load of an occupant of the vehicle, a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to determine a cognitive load of the occupant utilizing at least the cognitive-load data in response to an initiation of a video conference session, and output on a vehicle display a first user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load exceeds a threshold and a second user interface in connection with the video conference session when the cognitive load is below a threshold, wherein the second user interface includes video of the video conference session and the first user interface excludes video of the video conference session.

System and method for a dynamic human machine interface for video conferencing in a vehicle

A collision avoidance system for a subject vehicle. The system includes a secondary vehicle detection module that, based on at least one of inputs from sensors of the subject vehicle or a message transmitted by a secondary vehicle, detects the following: location, speed, and heading of the secondary vehicle, and whether the secondary vehicle intends to turn or change lanes. A warning module warns an operator of the subject vehicle of the secondary vehicle and the identified intention of the secondary vehicle, and modifies warning intensity based on the detected intention of the secondary vehicle to turn or change lanes. An adaptive cruise control module modifies at least one of speed and heading of the subject vehicle based on the detected intention of the secondary vehicle to turn or change lanes.
