Abstract

What could or should your car be saying about you to other cars or other people on the road? In this paper, we present some preliminary results from a multi-state in-vehicle driver monitoring system and position it with respect to our work in M2M communication. We propose to improve our current motion object tracking algorithm with the addition of a driver state variable, allowing cars to make predictions about other cars' trajectories with information beyond position, velocity and maps. We envision a transportation future where autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles could be talking about us to our benefit and advanced driver assist would extend beyond the vehicle to a network of connected cars.
