Abstract
A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of a vehicle and viewing toward at least a front driver seat region of the vehicle. Attentiveness of the driver of the vehicle is at least in part determined via processing of captured image data. Captured image data is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU) for a video-calling application. A microphone is disposed within the interior cabin of the vehicle and captures audio speech data from within the interior cabin of the vehicle. The video-calling application, based at least in part on processing at the ECU of captured image data and on audio speech data captured by the microphone, enables video-calling wireless communication between an occupant of the vehicle and a party exterior of the vehicle.
