1. A method comprising:
detecting movement of a wearable user device inside a self-driving vehicle;
based on the detected movement, determining that (a) a user is present in the self-driving vehicle, (b) the vehicle is engaged in a self-driving mode, and (c) the user has assumed a relaxed posture;
obtaining metadata of the user wearing the wearable user device inside the self-driving vehicle;
determining based on the metadata obtained, that the user has partially consumed a media asset on a second device that is not related to the self-driving vehicle; and
in response to the determination of (a) the user having partially consumed the media asset on the second device, (b) the vehicle being engaged in the self-driving mode, and (c) the user having assumed the relaxed posture:
resuming play of the media asset wherein the play is resumed on a user interface of the self-driving vehicle.
