1. A vehicle computing system comprising:
- a radar system configured to measure a distance to a frontward-vehicle;
a microphone configured to measure cabin noise; and
at least one controller configured to,output a tailgating indicator when the measured distance is less than a predefined threshold,in response to the tailgating indicator, measure cabin noise from the microphone, andif the noise is greater than a threshold value, output an alert message.

Abstract
A vehicle computing system for a vehicle includes a radar system, a microphone, and at least one controller. The radar system is configured to measure a distance to a frontward-vehicle. The microphone is configured to measure vehicle cabin noise. The controller is configured to output a tailgating event when the measured distance to the frontward-vehicle is less than a predefined threshold value. The controller may be further configured to request cabin noise from the microphone based on the tailgating event. If the noise is greater than a threshold value, the controller may output an alert message.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions, which, when executed by a vehicle computing system, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
-
detecting a tailgating event based on data from a radar system; comparing vehicle cabin volume to a baseline threshold value during the tailgating event; and if the vehicle-cabin volume exceeds the baseline threshold value, outputting a remedial action. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An aggressive driving detection method comprising:
-
detecting a tailgating event based on a distance to a frontward-vehicle, via a radar system, when the distance is less than a predefined frontward-vehicle threshold, in response to detecting the tailgating event, requesting in-vehicle cabin noise from a microphone, and if the noise is greater than a threshold value, outputting an alert message. - View Dependent Claims (20)
