WEARABLE DEVICE DETERMINING EMOTIONAL STATE OF RIDER IN VEHICLE AND OPTIMIZING OPERATING PARAMETER OF VEHICLE TO IMPROVE EMOTIONAL STATE OF RIDER

A transportation system includes an artificial intelligence system for processing a sensory input from a wearable device in a self-driving vehicle to determine an emotional state of a rider and optimizing a vehicle operating parameter to improve the rider emotional state. The artificial intelligence system detects the rider emotional state in the self-driving vehicle by recognition of patterns of emotional state indicative data from a set of wearable sensors worn by the rider. The patterns are indicative of at least one of a favorable emotional state and an unfavorable emotional state of the rider. The artificial intelligence system is to optimize, for achieving at least one of maintaining a detected favorable emotional state of the rider and achieving a favorable emotional state of a rider subsequent to a detection of an unfavorable emotional state, the operating parameter of the vehicle in response to the detected emotional state of the rider.
