Abstract

A system for causing a vibration within a vehicle to change a degree of somnolence of an occupant of the vehicle can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store an occupant age discrimination and a controller module. The occupant age discrimination can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine that the occupant of the vehicle is a child. The controller module can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause, in response to a determination that the occupant is the child, the vehicle to move in a manner to induce the vibration within the vehicle to change the degree of somnolence of the occupant from an undesired state, of the degree of somnolence, to a desired state of the degree of somnolence.
