Vehicle seat adjustment assembly

A vehicle seat adjustment assembly comprising:

• an actuator adapted to move a component of a vehicle seat assembly;
• a generally planar sensor array accessible from an outer surface of the vehicle seat assembly, the sensor array having a plurality of contiguous sensors positioned on an outer surface of the vehicle seat assembly;
• and
• a controller in communication with the actuator for controlling the actuator and in communication with the sensor array, the controller configured to control the actuator to move the component in response to receiving a signal indicative of a touch input of the sensor array by a user such that movement of the component correlates with the input to the sensor array.

A vehicle seat assembly comprising:

• a support structure;
• a seat assembly component supported by the support structure and being movable relative to the support structure between a first position and a second position;
• an actuator connected to the component and adapted to move the component between the first position and the second position;
• a controller in communication with the actuator and configured to control the actuator;
• and
• a generally planar sensor array in communication with the controller and positioned on an outer surface of the vehicle seat assembly, the sensor array having a first region and a second region adjoining the first region to sense a tactile input of the first region and second region being sequentially activated by a user;
• wherein the controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of the tactile input from the sensor array and command the actuator to move the component in response to the tactile input by the user.
