A method and system for providing integrated augmented reality (AR) images and content to multiple vehicle occupants having AR devices and methods of generating user-based AR expressions including content control of user generated content.

Integrated augmented reality system for sharing of augmented reality content between vehicle occupants

Methods and apparatus to monitor an activity level of a driver are disclosed. An example method includes receiving, at a processor, eye movement data from a sensor monitoring eye movements of a driver of a vehicle. The method includes calculating, via the processor, an eye movement activity index using a substantially real-time recursive analysis of the eye movement data. The method further includes calculating, via the processor, a low activity indicator for the driver based on the eye movement activity index. The method also includes executing a task based on the low activity indicator.

Methods and apparatus to monitor an activity level of a driver

A system for alerting drivers when a vehicle is or may be likely to be traveling in excess of a speed limit is provided. The system evaluates vehicle speed and provides custom warnings for various speed-related occurrences including a prediction that based on an instantaneous speed and acceleration the vehicle is about to exceed the speed limit. Haptic feedback from a wearable device such as a smart watch may preferably provide distinct intensities of warning between actual and predicted excursions over a limit.

Driver alert system for speed and acceleration thresholds

A vehicle includes at least one processor that receives an in-coming communication for a driver, routes the in-coming communication to a mail system in response to a driver workload exceeding a predefined value, and after a predetermined period of time following routing the in-coming communication to the mail system, generates a notification for the driver indicating that a communication was received in response to the driver workload being less than the predefined value at an expiration of the predetermined period of time.
