Cognitive dialog system for driving safety

Apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• computer memory holding computer program instructions executed by the processor for personalized driving safety, the computer program instructions comprising:
• program code, operative to gather a set of biometric data for a first driver of a vehicle in a data collection phase;
• program code, operative to classify respective members of the set of biometric data gathered in the data collection phase as belonging in respective ones of a plurality of biometric conditions, the plurality of biometric conditions including at least one normal biometric condition representative of a normal, attentive condition and a first abnormal biometric condition representative of an inattentive condition;
• program code, operative to establish a personal threshold between the normal biometric condition and the first abnormal biometric condition specific for the first driver for a first biometric parameter using the set of biometric data gathered in the data collection phase;
• program code, operative to monitor biometric data of the first driver, wherein the monitored biometric data is used to determine whether the first driver has passed from the normal biometric condition to the first abnormal biometric condition according to the personal threshold in a driving phase for the first biometric parameter;
• and
• program code responsive to a determination that the first driver has passed to the first abnormal biometric condition according to the monitored biometric data, operative to present a dialog personalized for the first user designed to return the first driver to the normal biometric condition.
