CONTROLLING AUTOMOTIVE FUNCTIONALITY USING INTERNAL- AND EXTERNAL-FACING SENSORS

摘要

Embodiments are directed to automotive systems including automotive alerting systems and automotive heads-up display projection systems. In one case, an automotive system includes an internal-facing sensor and an external-facing sensor positioned within an automobile. The automotive system further includes an information processing system that performs various items including receiving interior sensor input from the internal-facing sensor and from the external-facing sensor. The interior sensor input indicates information about the actions the driver and any other automobile occupants. The exterior sensor indicates information about objects that are external to the automobile. The information processing system then determines, based on both the interior sensor input and the exterior sensor input, an appropriate action to perform and performs that action. Such actions may include increasing or decreasing the salience of a triggered alert.
