Methods and apparatus are provided for monitoring and responding to the activity within a vehicle interior. The apparatus comprises a multifunction processor coupled to imaging devices within the vehicle. The imaging devices view the driver and passenger areas of the vehicle interior, and provide imaging data to the multifunction processor. The processor assesses the images in accordance with pre-existing data, and then takes predetermined responsive courses of action as a result of the assessment. Typical courses of action include alerting a drowsy driver, identifying an unauthorized intruder, adjusting air bag deployment for different-sized passengers, personalizing the vehicle environment for the driver, and transmitting images to a remote location for emergency response or subsequent investigation.
