A driver monitoring system of a vehicle includes: an infrared (IR) camera configured to capture an image of a driver on a driver's seat within a passenger cabin of the vehicle; an IR light source that is disposed between the IR camera and the driver, that is optically coaxial with the IR camera, and that is configured to output IR light to the driver; a gaze module configured to determine a gaze of the driver based on the image from the IR camera; and a monitor module configured to determine whether a location where the gaze of the driver intersects a vertical plane in front of the driver is within an area on the vertical plane.
