Abstract
A system includes a primary vehicle operable by a driver. The driver is associated with a first device having a plurality of features with which the driver may interact. The system further includes a second device integral with the primary vehicle and in communication with the first device. The second device is configured to detect an interaction between the driver and at least one of the features of the first device, and calculate a driver distraction level based upon the interaction between the driver and the at least one feature of the first device.
