The cockpit is evolving from passive, reactive interaction toward proactive, cognitive interaction, making precise predictions of driver intent a key factor in enhancing proactive interaction experiences. This paper introduces Cockpit-Llama, a novel language model specifically designed for predicting driver behavior intent. Cockpit-Llama predicts driver intent based on the relationship between current driver actions, historical interactions, and the states of the driver and cockpit environment, thereby supporting further proactive interaction decisions. To improve the accuracy and rationality of Cockpit-Llama's predictions, we construct a new multi-attribute cockpit dataset that includes extensive historical interactions and multi-attribute states, such as driver emotional states, driving activity scenarios, vehicle motion states, body states and external environment, to support the fine-tuning of Cockpit-Llama. During fine-tuning, we adopt the Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) method to efficiently optimize the parameters of the Llama3-8b-Instruct model, significantly reducing training costs. Extensive experiments on the multi-attribute cockpit dataset demonstrate that Cockpit-Llama's prediction performance surpasses other advanced methods, achieving BLEU-4, ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L scores of 71.32, 80.01, 76.89, and 81.42, respectively, with relative improvements of 92.34%, 183.61%, 95.54%, and 201.27% compared to ChatGPT-4. This significantly enhances the reasoning and interpretative capabilities of intelligent cockpits.
