Methods and systems for detecting a medical emergency related to the driver of a vehicle are described. Various data, such as in-situ biophysical data of the driver, a medical history of the driver, and in-situ motion data of the vehicle, are employed to determine a possible medical emergency. In an event that a medical emergency is detected, the system determines the severity of the emergency 520 and takes appropriate control of the vehicle, and determines an evacuation plan 540. If the medical emergency is not life-threatening 566, the system may drive the vehicle to a safe area, park the vehicle, and then request help from emergency service providers (e.g., ambulance and police). If the medical emergency is severe 564 (e.g., life-threatening), the system may transition the vehicle to an EMS (Emergency Medical Service)-privileged vehicle and autonomously drive the vehicle to an emergency service provider.
