The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods avoiding collisions by monitoring the presence and alertness of a person in a vehicle. The alertness of that person may be monitored by identifying actions performed by that person when an automated driving assistant is used in a vehicle. Systems and method consistent with the present disclosure may monitor the alertness of a person that is located in a driving position of a vehicle according to criteria associated with particular individuals or with criteria associated with specific protocols. When a system or method consistent with the present disclosure identifies that a person is not alert, a corrective action may be initiated that reduces likelihood of a collision.

A method for monitoring a steering action of a driver of a vehicle. The method includes exerting an automated steering torque on a steering system of the vehicle, reducing the automated steering torque and detecting a movement of the steering system and/or a force of the steering system and/or a lateral movement of the vehicle in response to the reduction of the automated steering torque, to monitor the steering action of the driver.
