Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for intelligent pre-boot and setup of vehicle systems. An example disclosed vehicle includes first sensors to detect a person within a user set in a first radius around the vehicle, second sensors to detect the person within a second radius around the vehicle; and a boot controller. The example boot controller activates vehicle subsystems in a first mode in response to detecting the person within the first radius. Additionally, the boot controller activates the vehicle subsystems in a second mode in response to detecting the person within the second radius.
Claims18
A vehicle comprising:
- first sensors to detect a person within a user set in a first radius around the vehicle;
- second sensors to detect the person within a second radius around the vehicle;
- and
- a boot controller to:
- activate vehicle subsystems in a first mode in response to detecting the person within the first radius;
- and
- activate the vehicle subsystems in a second mode in response to detecting the person within the second radius.
A method to pre-boot subsystems of a vehicle comprising:
- detecting a person within a user set in a first radius around the vehicle with first sensors;
- detecting the person within a second radius around the vehicle with second sensors;
- activating, with a processor, vehicle subsystems in a first mode in response to detecting the person within the first radius;
- and
- activating the vehicle subsystems in a second mode in response to detecting the person within the second radius.
