Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing driver habits are disclosed herein. One embodiment learns undesirable driving habits of a driver over time as the driver operates a vehicle; identifies, for each learned undesirable driving habit, one or more situational triggers associated with that undesirable driving habit; receives information from one or more of vehicle sensors and one or more external sources; predicts that the driver will engage in a particular undesirable driving habit; and carries out one or more of the following avoidance strategies to assist the driver in refraining from engaging in the particular undesirable driving habit: communicating one or more speed advisories to the driver; suggesting an alternate route to the driver; and presenting the driver with one or more of a coupon, an offer, and a discount at a place of business to encourage the driver to take a break by stopping at the place of business.
