Systems and methods for motivating a driver according to behaviors of nearby vehicles

An engagement system for inducing awareness in a driver of a primary vehicle about a surrounding environment, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing:
• a monitoring module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to, in response to detecting that a nearby vehicle is present within a defined range of the primary vehicle, generate a behavior characterization of the nearby vehicle according to at least sensor data from one or more sensors of the primary vehicle, wherein the monitoring module includes instructions to generate the behavior characterization including instructions to identify behaviors of the nearby vehicle to classify the nearby vehicle according to a driving style that is a safety assessment of how the nearby vehicle is being controlled;
• and
• an engagement module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to indicate to the driver of the primary vehicle the behavior characterization of the nearby vehicle to inform the driver of how surrounding vehicles including the nearby vehicle are operating and to induce the driver to be engaged with the surrounding environment of the primary vehicle.
