Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for optimized driver seat and pedal positioning using ulna length. An example method may include determining, at a first time and using a sensor of a vehicle, an ulna length of a vehicle user. The example method may also include automatically adjusting a seating position of the vehicle user to a first seating position based on the ulna length of the vehicle user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, at a first time and using a sensor of a vehicle, only an ulna length of a vehicle user;
- determining, based only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a plurality of optimal vehicle configurations for a corresponding plurality of vehicle components, comprising at least:
- determining, based only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a first optimal pedal position of a pedal of the vehicle for the vehicle user;
- and automatically adjusting, using a processor of the vehicle, the plurality of vehicle components based at least in part on the optimal vehicle configurations determined for the vehicle user.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine, at a first time and using a sensor of a vehicle, an ulna length of a vehicle user;
- determine, based only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a plurality of optimal vehicle configurations for a corresponding plurality of vehicle components, comprising to at least:
- determine, based only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a first optimal pedal position of a pedal of the vehicle for the vehicle user;
- and
- automatically adjust the plurality of vehicle components based at least in part on the optimal vehicle configurations determined for the vehicle user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
- determining, at a first time and using a sensor of a vehicle, an ulna length of a vehicle user;
- determining, only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a plurality of optimal vehicle configurations for a corresponding plurality of vehicle components, comprising:
- determining, based only on the ulna length of the vehicle user, a first optimal pedal position of a pedal of the vehicle for the vehicle user;
- and
- automatically adjusting the plurality of vehicle components based at least in part on the optimal vehicle configurations determined for the vehicle user.
