1. A method for determining event data comprising:

  • sampling a first image stream within a first time window at an interior-facing camera of an onboard vehicle system, wherein the onboard vehicle system is integrated into a mountable unit coupled to a vehicle at a single interior location;

    extracting interior activity data, comprising a driver gaze direction, from the first image stream;

    sampling a second image stream within a second time window at an exterior-facing camera of the onboard vehicle system, wherein the first and second time window are coextensive;

    extracting exterior activity data from the second image stream;

    determining an interior event based on the interior activity data, comprising mapping the driver gaze direction relative to a first region of the second image stream based on a relative orientation between the interior-facing camera and the exterior-facing camera of the onboard vehicle system;

    determining an exterior event based on the exterior activity data, comprising determining that a distance between the vehicle and an object depicted in the first region of the second image stream has fallen below a threshold distance;

    correlating the interior event with the exterior event to generate combined event data, comprising determining that the driver gaze direction overlaps with the first region of the second image stream at a time point within the first time window;

    automatically classifying the combined event data to generate an event label; and

    automatically labeling the first image stream within the first time window and the second image stream within the second time window with the event label to generate labeled training data;

    transmitting the labeled training data to a remote computing system; and

    aggregating the labeled training data at the remote computing system with a corpus of labeled training data, wherein the corpus of labeled training data is received from a plurality of onboard vehicle systems operating in a plurality of vehicles.
