Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of operating a driver assistance component (DAC) of a vehicle. The method includes receiving sensed operator state data and sensed vehicle state data that represents a vehicle state of the vehicle. Based at least in part on the sensed operator state data, an operator state model is created, trained, and updated. Based at least in part on the sensed vehicle state data, a vehicle state model is created, trained, and updated. Based at least in part on new sensed operator state data, an operator state model classification output is created. Based at least in part on new sensed vehicle state data, a vehicle state model classification output is created. The operator state model classification output and the vehicle state model classification output are correlated, and operating parameters for the DAC are predicted.
