Abstract
Disclosed embodiments include techniques for detecting an acknowledgement from a driver of a vehicle. A driver state and reaction tracking system determines that a detected condition exceeds a threshold hazard potential with the vehicle. The driver state and reaction tracking system detects a gesture, by a driver, associated with the detected condition. The driver state and reaction tracking system, in response to detecting the gesture, reduces an urgency level for alerting the driver of the detected condition to generate a reduced urgency level. The driver state and reaction tracking system determines whether to issue an alert to the driver based on the reduced urgency level. The driver state and reaction tracking system may transmit an acknowledgement to other systems associated with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, semiautonomous vehicles, manually driven vehicles and/or the like. to confirm that the driver has seen the pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, or vehicle associated with the other system.
