Methods and systems for determining an emotion of a human driver of a vehicle and using the emotion for generating a vehicle response, is provided. One example method includes capturing, by a camera of the vehicle, a face of the human driver. The capturing is configured to capture a plurality of images over a period of time, and the plurality of images are analyzed to identify a facial expression and changes in the facial expression of the human driver over the period of time. The method further includes capturing, by a microphone of the vehicle, voice input of the human driver. The voice input is captured over the period of time. The voice input is analyzed to identify a voice profile and changes in the voice profile of the human driver over the period of time. The method processes, by a processor of the vehicle, a combination of the facial expression and the voice profile captured during the period of time to predict the emotion of the human driver. The method generates the vehicle response that is responsive to the emotion of the human driver. The vehicle response is configured to make at least one adjustment to a setting of the vehicle. The adjustment is selected based on the emotion of the human driver. The vehicle response can be used to make the driver more calm and/or assist in reducing distracted driving. The prediction of the emotion may be additionally increased by capturing and analyzing touch and/or gesture characteristic of the human driver when interfacing with a graphical user interface or surfaces of the vehicle or systems of the vehicle.
