Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for a monitoring system are disclosed. The monitoring system includes a memory configured to store image data and a first camera configured to capture first image data including the activity of a passenger within the vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to obtain, from the first camera, the first image data including the passenger, determine an activity of the passenger based on the first image data, and determine that the activity of the passenger will be different than a baseline activity of the passenger. The electronic control unit is configured to record and capture, in the memory and using the camera, the first image data for a time period before and after the determination that the activity of the passenger will be different than the baseline activity.
