In one or more embodiments of the present invention, one or more processors receive a fuel sensor reading from a fuel sensor on a vehicle. The processor(s) receive an environmental state of a route being taken by the vehicle to a destination and a biometric sensor reading that describes a biometric state of a driver of the vehicle. The processor(s) determine whether the remaining fuel will be sufficient for the vehicle to reach the destination subject to the constraints of the environmental state of the route being taken by the vehicle and the biometric state of the driver of the vehicle, and then modify an appearance of a fuel gauge on the vehicle based on whether the remaining fuel will be sufficient for the vehicle to reach the destination.
