Abstract: Systems and methods may transmit a plurality of locationing pulse requests from a mobile device in a vehicle to an audio system of the vehicle during a period of vehicle operation. The mobile device may be associated with a vehicle driver. The audio system may have an array of speakers disposed inside the vehicle, and the locationing pulse requests may include a request to emit a locationing pulse from the array of speakers. The systems and methods may receive the locationing pulse at a microphone of the mobile device, and generate or update a vehicle occupancy profile based upon the receiving operation. The vehicle occupancy profile may include occupancy data of one or more seats inside the vehicle. A vehicle risk profile may be determined based upon the vehicle occupancy profile, and a risk message transmitted if the vehicle risk profile satisfies a high risk condition.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method detect and act upon operator responsiveness to vehicle alerts. The system and method include determining that an Advanced Driver Assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle generated an alert for a driving activity. The system and method may include logging a first set of measurements data associated with the alert of the ADAS in a database saved in a memory. The system and method may compare a portion of the first set of measurements data with a portion of the second set of measurements data, determine a driving metric for an operator of the vehicle based upon the comparing, and set at least a portion of an operator profile associated with the operator with the driving metric. As a result, risk averse driver, and/or proper responsiveness to vehicle alerts may be rewarded with insurance-cost savings, such as increased discounts.
