Certain embodiments use image-based technologies (e.g., digital cameras, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems, etc.) to monitor a driver-side floor space in a vehicle cabin and warn the driver when a foreign object is blocking or may potentially block a vehicle control (e.g., brake pedal). A foreign object can include a bottle, can, electronic device, keys, books, or the like. In some cases, foreign objects are detected by comparing a current image of the driver-side floor space with a reference image that is known to be free of foreign objects. The difference image can be used to identify any foreign objects in the driver-side floor space, and a corrective action can be taken to address the potential danger. Some corrective actions may include an audio and/or video alert to the driver, or in some cases, the vehicle may autonomously guide the vehicle to a safe location and stop.
