A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for vehicle navigation, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:

• obtaining one or more images of a vehicle occupant using a first imaging device within a vehicle, wherein the one or more images include facial data of the vehicle occupant;
• analyzing, using a first computing device, the one or more images to determine cognitive state data for the vehicle occupant;
• mapping the cognitive state data to location data along a vehicle travel route;
• updating information about the vehicle travel route based on the cognitive state data;
• and
• providing the information that was updated for vehicle control.
