VIRTUAL COACHING AGENT FOR INSTRUCTING A DRIVER

Methods, computer readable media, and computing platform to virtually coach a driver of a vehicle are provided. A virtual coaching agent program may control a computing device to receive drive data from a component in communication with the vehicle while a driver is driving the vehicle, the drive data indicative of one or more current characteristics of a drive trip of the vehicle, determine driver behavior of the driver from the drive data, generate, in real time, a coaching response based on the determined driver behavior and deliver, in real-time, the coaching response to the driver within the vehicle via a virtual representation of a coaching agent to promote a driver action.
