Abstract
A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least a head region of a driver of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes a data processor. Image data captured by the interior-viewing camera is transferred to the ECU and is processed at the ECU. Based at least in part on processing at the ECU of image data captured by the interior-viewing camera, the vehicular driver monitoring system monitors the driver of the vehicle. At least partially responsive to monitoring the driver of the vehicle, the vehicular driver monitoring system, using a chatbot, engages the driver in conversation.
