Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods associated with communicating privacy rights pertaining to data captured from a vehicle. An example method executed by a processor of a data capture apparatus in a vehicle can include capturing an image. In an example scenario, the image may include an individual who is located outside the vehicle. Furthermore, in some cases, the image can be a part of a video clip containing multiple images. The method further includes generating an identifier for identifying the image(s). The identifier can be a machine-readable symbol such as, for example, a QR-code symbol or a barcode. A notification that includes the identifier may be generated and conveyed to the individual for use by the individual to exercise his/her rights to privacy with respect to the images in which he/she is present.

Abstract: An object can be detected in contact with a steering wheel of a vehicle. A first image of the steering wheel at a first angle of rotation and a second image of the steering wheel at a second angle of rotation are then obtained. A type of the object is identified based on at least one of the first image or the second image, as one of a human hand or a foreign object. A vehicle component is controlled based on the type of object.

Abstract: A determination that a driver of a vehicle is directed to a non on-road zone based on at least one of a head pose or an eye gaze of a driver. Based on the non on-road zone, a probability is determined that the driver does not transition from the non on-road zone to an on-road zone based on the non on-road zone. The probability is adjusted when the driver is directed to the non on-road zone for a time period that exceeds a predetermined time threshold. A warning is generated within the vehicle based on the adjusted probability.
