VEHICLE FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENT BASED ON ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A REAR PASSENGER

摘要

A vehicle system includes a front row seat and at least one controller. The front row seat may be a driver seat or a front passenger seat. The at least one controller may respond to a signal, for example, a signal transmitted from a key fob or a signal indicative of movement of a rear door handle. In response to the signal, the controller may move the front row seat based on data indicative of a size of a rear passenger expected to be seated behind the front row seat before the expected rear passenger enters the vehicle. The size of the rear passenger may be determined via data from an external object sensor such as a blind spot detection optical sensor, lidar sensor or ultrasonic sensor.

1. A blind-spot detection system for a vehicle comprising:
a side view optical sensor arrangement configured to capture data about an expected driver side rear passenger before the expected driver side rear passenger enters the vehicle; and at least one controller configured to move a driver seat based on a size of the expected driver side rear passenger that is derived from the data.
