SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCAPACITATED DRIVER DETECTION

A system for incapacitated driver detection is provided. The system includes at least one sensor configured to be located on a vehicle. The at least one sensor includes a field-of-view directed outward away from the vehicle. The system includes a processing device in communication with the at least one sensor and configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to perform operations including detecting a secondary vehicle located around or proximate the vehicle. The operations include determining if a driver of the secondary vehicle is incapacitated based on detection of at least one of a driver characteristic associated with the driver, or a vehicle characteristic associated with the secondary vehicle. If the driver of the secondary vehicle is determined to be incapacitated, the operations include adjusting operation of the vehicle into a safety operation mode.
