Cognitive state supported automotive travel
First Claim
1. A method for cognitive state supported automotive travel, the method comprising:
- configuring, in an application executing using a processor in a vehicle, an integration with a home automation system to identify an objective of a trip from the home automation system;
detecting that an event in the vehicle is outside of acceptable bounds for that event;
establishing a cognitive state of a person operating the vehicle, the establishing using at least one of (i) information from a biometric sensor, (ii) an input from a data processing system accessible in the vehicle, and (iii) an input from the person operating the vehicle;
determining whether the event being outside of acceptable bounds is a result of the cognitive state of the person operating the vehicle;
generating, responsive to the event comprising forgetting the objective by the person as the result of the cognitive state of the person, an indication of the cognitive state of the person being below a threshold level of cognitive abilities; and
performing, using a processor, an action corresponding to the cognitive state, wherein the action causes the vehicle to operate with improved safety.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for cognitive state supported automotive travel are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A detection is made that an event in a vehicle is outside of acceptable bounds for that event. A determination is made whether the event being outside of acceptable bounds is a result of a cognitive state of a person operating the vehicle. Responsive to the event being a result of the cognitive state of the person, an indication of the cognitive state of the person being below a threshold level of cognitive abilities is generated. An action corresponding to the cognitive state is performed. The action causes the vehicle to operate with improved safety.
