Abstract
In an approach to safely facilitate driver responses to road traffic event alerts, computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems for reducing vehicle occupant distractions are described. The computer-implemented method includes processors configured for receiving vehicle alert data corresponding to a road traffic event, generating a user alert prompt corresponding to the vehicle alert data, transmitting the user alert prompt to a user vehicle satisfying a first condition, and receiving a user response from an occupant of the user vehicle. Responsive to receiving an affirmative user response, activating one or more vehicle activity systems to reduce vehicle cabin activity by occupants within the user vehicle.
