Abstract

Approaches presented herein enable recipient-actualized internal vehicle-to-vehicle honking. More specifically, an action of a first vehicle is monitored and a communication is obtained from a second vehicle. In response to the obtainment of the communication, it is determined whether the action of the first vehicle violates a rule. In the case that the action of the first vehicle violates a rule, responsive to the communication, a honk indication, perceptible to an occupant of the first vehicle, is actualized inside the first vehicle. In the case that the action of the first vehicle does not violate a rule, the communication from the second vehicle is rejected, and the honk indication is not actualized inside the first vehicle. A response can be transmitted to the second vehicle indicating if the honk indication was actualized inside the first vehicle.
