Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for scheduling and presenting notifications, via an in-vehicle computing system, to a driver of a vehicle. In some embodiments, a method for an in-vehicle computing system includes receiving data regarding a notification for presentation to a driver of a vehicle. The method further includes, based on a driver profile, adjusting a timing of presenting the notification to the driver via the in-vehicle computing system, wherein the driver profile is generated based on past driving behavior associated with the driver.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for an in-vehicle computing system comprising a communication interface communicatively coupled to a query response server, a processor, and a storage device. The storage device configured to collect and store vehicle and user interaction data and configured to store instructions executable by the processor to receive a voice query from a user, translate the voice query into a text query, send the text query to a query response server, receive a result from the query response server, the result including one or more placeholders representing data to be retrieved from a storage device local to the head unit, replace the one or more placeholders with information from the storage device to form an updated result; and present the updated result to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method for an in-vehicle computing system including detecting a request to perform a driver-dependent function, and inferring an identity of the driver based on current driving data/behavior relative to one or more driver profiles, each of the one or more driver profiles generated using driver-specific past driving data/behavior. The method may further include selectively enabling performance of the driver-dependent function of the in-vehicle computing system based on the inferred driver identity.
