Gear guard camera and bluetooth sensor fusion to enhance user experience

A system comprising:

• a first sensor configured to receive a wireless signal from a user device;
• a system state controller configured to regulate a system state of a vehicle based at least in part on the wireless signal;
• and
• processing circuitry of the vehicle, communicably coupled to at least one of the first sensor and the system state controller, configured to:
• determine that the user device is leaving the vehicle based on a signal strength of the wireless signal by the first sensor;
• causing, using the system state controller of the vehicle, a second sensor to collect data characterizing an environment external to the vehicle in response to determining that the user device is leaving the vehicle;
• detect, using the system state controller, an object different from the user device based on the collected;
• and
• cause the system state controller to perform a responsive action using one or more components of the vehicle based on the detected object.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when processed by processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to:

• receive a wireless signal from a user device;
• determine that the user device is leaving a vehicle based on a signal strength of the wireless signal;
• cause, using a vehicle state controller communicatively coupled to the processing circuitry, a sensor to collect data characterizing an environment external to the vehicle in response to determining that the user device is leaving the vehicle;
• detect, using the vehicle state controller, an object different than the user device based on the collected data;
• and
• cause the vehicle state controller to perform a responsive action using one or more components of the vehicle based on the detected object.
