With user permission and express consent, the virtual assistant receives inputs from multiple sensors, devices, and systems that provide driving context information. For example, the virtual assistant can be provided via a wearable device, a mobile device, vehicle infotainment system etc. Inputs are received from various user-permitted sensors on one or more of these devices and are utilized to calculate a drowsiness score for the driver.
