Abstract

The systems and methods described herein can be applied to a vehicle equipped with a sensor suite that can observe information about a user, for example, a driver or passenger, within a vehicle. The system can determine a action being conducted by a user or an event associated with the user. Then, the navigation system can augment or learn what type of route or conditions allows the user to conduct the action or event. From the learned information, the navigation system can determine a route that best assists with the action or event regardless of whether the route is the shortest or quickest. As such, the vehicle tailors the chosen navigation route based on the user's conditions or circumstances rather than the driving environment.
