Control system and method for enhancing vehicle driving experience

A vehicle comprising:

• a frame defining an interior space;
• and
• a control system for enhancing a vehicle driving experience, the control system including:
• a lighting system disposed within the vehicle, wherein the lighting system is at least configured to illuminate one or more locations on one or more passenger seats of the vehicle;
• at least one sensor coupled to the frame and disposed within the interior space, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to generate an input signal indicative of a number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled with the at least one sensor and the lighting system, the controller being configured to:
• determine the number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle based on the input signal received from the at least one sensor;
• and
• control, based on the number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle, the lighting system to illuminate any one of a central location on a passenger seat from the one or more passenger seats or at least two locations on the one or more passenger seats;
• an adjustment mechanism communicably coupled with the controller and operatively coupled with a steering wheel of the vehicle, wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to slide the steering wheel along a horizontal plane to adjust a position of the steering wheel, and wherein the controller is further configured to:
• control, via the adjustment mechanism, the steering wheel to dispose the steering wheel at a central position based on determining that a single person has entered the vehicle and/or is present within the vehicle;
• or
• control, via the adjustment mechanism, the steering wheel to dispose the steering wheel at any one of a left side of the central position or a right side of the central position based on determining that more than one person has entered the vehicle.

A method for enhancing a vehicle driving experience, the method comprising:

• generating, by at least one sensor associated with a vehicle, an input signal indicative of a number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle;
• determining, by a controller associated with the vehicle, the number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle based on the input signal received from the at least one sensor, wherein the controller is communicably coupled with the at least one sensor and a lighting system disposed within the vehicle, and wherein the lighting system is at least configured to illuminate one or more locations on one or more passenger seats of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling, by the controller, the lighting system to illuminate any one of a central location on a passenger seat from the one or more passenger seats or at least two locations on the one or more passenger seats based on the number of persons entering the vehicle and/or present within the vehicle;
• wherein an adjustment mechanism of the vehicle is communicably coupled with the controller and operatively coupled with a steering wheel of the vehicle, and wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to slide the steering wheel along a horizontal plane to adjust a position of the steering wheel, the method further comprising:
• controlling, by the controller, the adjustment mechanism to dispose the steering wheel at a central position based on determining that a single person has entered the vehicle and/or is present within the vehicle;
• or
• controlling, by the controller, the adjustment mechanism to dispose the steering wheel at any one of a left side of the central position or a right side of the central position based on determining that more than one person has entered the vehicle.
