AUTOMATIC VEHICLE INTERVENTION BASED ON OCCUPANT FACIAL EXPRESSION

In an aspect, a system is described. The system comprises: a sensor module; and a processor storing instructions in non-transitory memory that, when executed, causes the processor to: communicate a first command to the sensor module to capture one of an image and a video of one or more facial expressions of one or more occupants in a vehicle; extract one or more facial landmark characteristics from the one or more facial expressions; compare the one or more facial landmark characteristics with one or more facial baseline landmark characteristics to determine deviations; classify the one or more facial landmark characteristics based on the deviations exceeding threshold values; determine a physiological state of the one or more occupants based on the classification; and communicate a second command to an electric drive unit based on the physiological state to control the vehicle to ensure safety of the one or more occupants.
