EMERGENT DRIVING ASSISTANT BASED ON EMOTION AND GAZE

An emergent driving assistant for a vehicle includes a control circuitry that receives a constraint signal, a feature signal, and a motion signal. The feature signal is in a first or second state. The first state indicates that the driver exhibits a non-neutral emotional state or a non-neutral gaze state. The second state indicates that the driver exhibits neutral emotional and gaze states. The constraint signal indicates a constraint on motion of the vehicle on a section of a road. The motion signal indicates the vehicle's motion. The control circuitry determines, based on the constraint and motion signals, whether the vehicle is violating the constraint. It then relieves the driver from complete control over a vehicle subsystem when the feature signal is in the first state and when the vehicle is violating the constraint.
