Systems and methods for monitoring users exiting a vehicle

A method for monitoring a user associated with a first vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, inputs from a detection unit, wherein the detection unit is configured to detect a presence of the user in the first vehicle and in proximity to the first vehicle;
• determining, by the processor, that a predefined condition is met based on the inputs;
• obtaining a digital map of an area around and including the vehicle;
• generating, by the processor based on the digital map, a virtual zone around the first vehicle responsive to determining that the predefined condition is met;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor, information associated with the virtual zone to a second vehicle responsive to generating the virtual zone, wherein the information associated with the virtual zone includes a shape and dimension of the virtual zone and an expiration time duration associated with the virtual zone.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain inputs from a detection unit of a first vehicle, wherein the detection unit is configured to detect a presence of a user in the first vehicle and in proximity to the first vehicle;
• determine that a predefined condition is met based on the inputs;
• obtain a digital map of an area around and including the vehicle;
• generate, based on the digital map, a virtual zone around the first vehicle responsive to determining that the predefined condition is met;
• and
• transmit information associated with the virtual zone to a second vehicle responsive to generating the virtual zone, wherein the information associated with the virtual zone includes a shape and dimension of the virtual zone and an expiration time duration associated with the virtual zone.
