Cognitively filtered and recipient-actualized vehicle horn activation

A computer system for recipient-actualized internal vehicle-to-vehicle honking, the computer system comprising:

• a memory medium comprising program instructions;
• a bus coupled to the memory medium;
• and
• a processor, for executing the program instructions, coupled to a recipient-actualized internal vehicle-to-vehicle honk engine via the bus that when executing the program instructions causes the system to:
• monitor an action of a first vehicle by receiving sensor data from a set of sensors on the first vehicle, the sensor data comprising the action of the first vehicle and a condition associated with the first vehicle;
• obtain a set of rules from a rule depository, the set of rules being correct conduct of the first vehicle responsive to a condition associated with the first vehicle, wherein the rules comprise a set of cognitively learned driving customs, the violation of which warrants a honk according to the cognitively learned driving customs;
• obtain a communication from a second vehicle;
• determine, in response to the obtainment of the communication, whether the action of the first vehicle violates a rule by analyzing the sensor data for a violation of a rule of the set of rules for the received action of the first vehicle and condition associated with the first vehicle, the analysis comprising generating a hypothesis proposing a reason an operator of the second vehicle honked at the first vehicle based on a machine-learned association of the sensed action with the hypothesis;
• and
• actualize, responsive to the communication, in the case that the action of the first vehicle violates a rule, a honk indication inside the first vehicle perceptible to an occupant of the first vehicle, the actualized honk indication comprising an indication of a direction of the second vehicle relative to the first vehicle.

A computer program product for recipient-actualized internal vehicle-to-vehicle honking, the computer program product comprising a computer readable hardware storage device, and program instructions stored on the computer readable hardware storage device, to:

• monitor an action of a first vehicle by receiving sensor data from a set of sensors on the first vehicle, the sensor data comprising the action of the first vehicle and a condition associated with the first vehicle;
• obtain a set of rules from a rule depository, the set of rules being correct conduct of the first vehicle responsive to a condition associated with the first vehicle, wherein the rules comprise a set of cognitively learned driving customs, the violation of which warrants a honk according to the cognitively learned driving customs;
• obtain a communication from a second vehicle;
• determine, in response to the obtainment of the communication, whether the action of the first vehicle violates a rule by analyzing the sensor data for a violation of a rule of the set of rules for the received action of the first vehicle and condition associated with the first vehicle, the analysis comprising generating a hypothesis proposing a reason an operator of the second vehicle honked at the first vehicle based on a machine-learned association of the sensed action with the hypothesis;
• and
• actualize, responsive to the communication, in the case that the action of the first vehicle violates a rule, a honk indication inside the first vehicle perceptible to an occupant of the first vehicle, the actualized honk indication comprising an indication of a direction of the second vehicle relative to the first vehicle.
