Abstract
Methods and systems for mitigating irritants during travel in a vehicle. The method includes determining, at a remote server, an airborne irritant is present external to the vehicle, which may involve data from the vehicle or from other nearby vehicles. The data may be direct irritant measurements by sensors or may be indirect data indicative of possible irritants. Based on the determination that the airborne irritant is likely present external to the vehicle, an irritant mitigation action is caused within the vehicle. The irritant mitigation action may include displaying a notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, outputting an audio notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, closing a window of the vehicle, or closing an air vent of the vehicle.
