A gaze safety module is described herein. In an embodiment, the gaze safety module may comprise a gaze area classifier, a monitoring needs estimator, and a display control. The gaze area classifier may be configured to: receive first sensor data from a sensor; and determine a first gaze classification of a driver based, at least in part, on the first sensor data. The monitoring needs estimator may be configured to: receive driving condition data; and determine one or more gaze requirements. The display control may be configured to: pause playback of a media player based, at least in part, on the first gaze classification and the one or more gaze requirements; and determine a first value for a resume type variable based, at least in part, on the first gaze classification and the one or more gaze requirements.
