Abstract
A mobile device automatically determines which location of a plurality of locations of a vehicle a user of the mobile device is located at without knowing assistance of the user. The mobile device determines that the mobile device is likely in a moving vehicle and that the user is actively interacting with the mobile device. The mobile device captures an image via an optical sensor of the mobile device without assistance from the user for the capture. The mobile device determines a location of the user within the vehicle based upon an analysis of the image. The analysis includes an execution of a model that utilizes at least the captured image as an input to determine the location. The mobile device, after determining the location, performs one or more actions.
