Abstract

Systems and methods are described for monitoring awareness of a vehicle occupant. An approach may involve connecting, by the vehicle, to a wireless device of the vehicle occupant, receiving, by the vehicle, a signal from the wireless device indicative of activity of the vehicle occupant and processing the signal to determine a level of awareness of the vehicle occupant, determining whether the level of awareness of the vehicle occupant satisfies a threshold, and generating, by the vehicle, an alert based upon whether the level of awareness of the vehicle occupant satisfies the threshold.
