Abstract
System and methods that utilize driver facing cameras to monitor a neck size of a driver and to modify vehicle operations as an increase in neck size is detected are disclosed. In one form, a system includes a memory; an imaging device configured; and at least one processor in communication with the memory and the imaging device. The at least one processor is configured to receive an image of the interior of the vehicle captured by the imaging device; analyze the image and determine a parameter associated with a neck size of a driver of the vehicle that is present in the image; determine that the parameter associated with the neck size of the driver present in the image has increased more than a predetermined value; and modify an operation of the vehicle based on the parameter associated with the neck size of the driver present in the image increasing more than the predetermined value.
