Abstract
A tool for mitigating driver fatigue. The tool registers, by one or more computer processors, a profile for a driver, wherein registering the profile includes the driver in a social community. The tool receives, by one or more computer processors, a request to initiate a conversation, the request indicating the driver is suffering from driver fatigue. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, one or more available additional drivers. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, based, at least in part, on the registered profile, one or more strategies for mitigating driver fatigue.
