==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system utilizing news and external information to improve driving and decision making includes a text information module receiving text information from multiple sources external to a host vehicle. A text processing module receives a text information module output and includes an actionable traffic item detection module identifying if the text information defines an actionable traffic item. A user-aided decision-making module including a confidence evaluation module determines an actionable traffic item confidence level. A situation data module retrieves host vehicle operating conditions. The text information includes recent and important events and information obtained by the host vehicle during a driving operation and provides a vehicle user with a summary of the recent and important events and information based on a user personal input to assist in determining specific items of the recent and important events and information to be presented to the vehicle user.
