Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to develop driving simulations. An example apparatus includes a vehicle configuration engine to retrieve first tier environment parameters associated with a simulation type, and generate second tier environment parameters associated with the simulation type, a simulation modifier (SM) source engine to identify a source of SMs, and distinguish respective ones of the source of SMs that are compatible with the simulation type and the second tier environment parameters, and a development environment configuration engine to improve simulation design efficiency by associating simulation events with only the respective ones of the SMs that are compatible with the simulation type.

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for in-vehicle fiducial mark tracking and interpretation According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for executing computer executable instructions by one or more processors. The method includes receiving the one or more images from at least one camera attached to a vehicle; selecting, from the one or more received images, a region of interest associated with an object in the vehicle; identifying fiducial marks within the selected region of interest by comparing the identified fiducial marks with one or more stored fiducial representations; determining, based at least in part on the comparison, spatial information associated with the object or an occupant of the vehicle; and sending information based at least in part on the determined spatial information.

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for enhancing a field of view of a camera in a vehicle. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for executing computer executable instructions by one or more processors for enhancing a field of view associated with a camera in a vehicle. The method includes capturing image information from one or more objects or one or more occupants in the vehicle; processing the image information; receiving trigger information associated with one or more of the image information, the one or more objects, or the one or more occupants associated with the vehicle; configuring one or more reflective surfaces, based at least in part on the received trigger information, wherein configuring comprises positioning the one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view; and adjusting the position of the one or more reflective surfaces based at least on the processing of the image information.

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying an occupant of a vehicle. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for identifying an occupant of a vehicle. The method includes receiving a primary identification (ID) input and one or more secondary ID inputs, wherein the primary ID input comprises identification token information; retrieving cluster information based at least on the primary ID input; comparing the one or more secondary ID inputs with the cluster information; determining a confidence value associated with the identification of the occupant based at least in part on the comparison of the one or more secondary ID inputs with the cluster information; and outputting information based at least in part on the determined confidence value.

Systems and methods to request and collect evidence elements from one or more evidence systems responsive to a triggering event are disclosed. An evidence request beacon may be generated based at least in part on information associated with the triggering event. The evidence request beacon may be received by one or more evidence systems and may be evaluated to determine if potentially relevant evidence is available from the evidence system. If potentially relevant evidence elements are available from the one or more evidence systems, then the potentially relevant evidence elements may be provided to the requesting system.
