In-vehicle thermal distress mitigation

A method for in-vehicle thermal distress mitigation, comprising:

• monitoring, by one or more processors using one or more temperature sensors, an in-vehicle temperature of a vehicle;
• receiving, by the one or more processors from a camera mounted to or in the vehicle, one or more images of an environment within the vehicle depicting a driver of the vehicle;
• responsive to determining the in-vehicle temperature of the vehicle satisfies a temperature threshold, executing, by the one or more processors, a machine learning model using at least the one or more images to detect the driver is in a thermal distress state;
• responsive to determining the driver is in the thermal distress state, generating, by the one or more processors, a message in the vehicle requesting driver input;
• and
• when no affirmative response to the message is received within a defined time period subsequent to the generation of the message, generating, by the one or more processors, a real-time video feed depicting the driver to a remote computing system.
