Squat-responsive mirror and seat control for a vehicle

A method, comprising:

• in a system that includes control circuitry communicatively coupled to a sensor system of a vehicle:
• receiving, from the sensor system, sensor information indicative of a squat condition of the vehicle, caused by a load on a towed trailer that is coupled to the vehicle;
• determining a first position of a mirror assembly or a seat assembly of the vehicle;
• determining, based on the sensor information, an offset by which the mirror assembly or the seat assembly is to be moved with reference to the first position;
• controlling, based on the offset, a movement of at least one of the mirror assembly or the seat assembly to a second position that is different from the first position;
• and
• controlling a display device associated with the vehicle to render the offset and the squat condition associated with the vehicle on a Graphical User Interface (GUI), wherein the GUI comprises a prompt overlay with an option to lock the movement of the mirror assembly or the seat assembly before the movement of the mirror assembly or the seat assembly is controlled.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a system for a vehicle, cause the system to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a sensor system of the vehicle, sensor information indicative of a squat condition of the vehicle, caused by a load on a towed trailer that is coupled to the vehicle;
• determining a first position of a mirror assembly or a seat assembly of the vehicle;
• determining, based on the sensor information, an offset by which the mirror assembly or the seat assembly is to be moved with reference to the first position;
• controlling, based on the offset, a movement of at least one of the mirror assembly or the seat assembly to a second position that is different from the first position;
• and
• detecting a lean in the vehicle based on the sensor information, wherein the mirror assembly comprises a first rearview mirror on a first side of the vehicle and a second rearview mirror on a second side of the vehicle, and wherein the offset is determined further based on the detection of the lean and includes a first offset angle for the first rearview mirror and a second offset angle for the second rearview mirror, and the first offset angle is different from the second offset angle.
