In various embodiments, while a self-driving model operates a vehicle, a user monitoring subsystem acquires sensor data associated with a user of the vehicle and a vehicle observation subsystem acquires sensor data associated with the vehicle. The user monitoring subsystem computes values for a psychological metric based on the sensor data associated with the user. Based on the values for the psychological metric, a feedback application determines a description of the user over a first time period. The feedback application generates a dataset based on the description and the sensor data associated with the vehicle. Subsequently, a training application performs machine learning operation(s) on the self-driving model based on the dataset to generate a modified self-driving model. Advantageously, the dataset enables the training application to automatically modify the self-driving model to account for the impact different driving actions have on the user.
