VEHICULAR DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM RESPONSIVE TO DRIVER HEALTH MONITORING

A vehicular occupant health monitoring system includes a heartbeat sensor disposed at a vehicle and operable to capture sensor data measuring an aspect associated with the heart of an occupant of the vehicle. A control includes a processor operable to process sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor and provided to the control. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to processing by the processor of sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor, determines whether the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to determining the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal, controls a function of the vehicle.
