Abstract
In one aspect a vehicle may include a motor, a drive train and chassis, a battery, a seat assembly including a seat in which people can sit, at least one processor, a camera accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive data pertaining to at least one characteristic of a person and to, based on the data, adjust at least one mechanism within the vehicle.
Claims20
A vehicle, comprising:
- a motor;
- a drive train and chassis;
- a battery;
- a seat assembly comprising a seat in which people can sit;
- at least one processor;
- a camera accessible to the at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- receive input from the camera;
- based on the input from the camera, profile a person;
- and
- based on the profiling of the person, adjust the vehicle's suspension system;
- wherein the instructions are executable to:
- receive one or more wireless signals from a client device different from the vehicle;
- based on the one or more wireless signals, identify a profile for the person;
- and
- based on the identification of the profile;
- adjust at least one mechanism of the vehicle;
- wherein the instructions are executable to:
- identify the profile based on the one or more wireless signals and based on the client device coming within a threshold distance of the vehicle;
- wherein the instructions are executable to:
- determine the client device as coming within the threshold distance of the vehicle using a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) algorithm.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a vehicle, data related to a person;
- correlating the data to a configuration of an assembly of the vehicle;
- and
- based on the correlation and based on a device different from the vehicle coming within a threshold distance of the vehicle, adjusting a height of the vehicle's suspension system.
At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive, at a vehicle, data related to a person;
- correlate the data to a configuration of one or more mechanisms of the vehicle;
- and
- based on the correlation and based on a device different from the vehicle coming within a threshold distance of the vehicle, configure the one or more mechanisms of the vehicle at least by adjusting the vehicle's suspension system.
