Control system for user experience enhancement devices of a vehicle based on occupancy

A vehicle comprising:

• a passenger seat zone including a passenger user experience enhancement device and a passenger seat occupant sensor;
• and
• a control module configured to:
• operate in a first mode and a second mode;
• in the first mode, supply power to the passenger user experience enhancement device during operation of the vehicle;
• and
• in the second mode, supply power to the passenger user experience enhancement device in response to the passenger seat occupant sensor sensing a passenger in the passenger seat zone during operation of the vehicle and not supply power to the passenger user experience enhancement device in response to the passenger seat occupant sensor not sensing the passenger in the passenger seat zone during operation of the vehicle.

A vehicle comprising:

• a driver seat zone;
• a passenger seat zone including a passenger seat lighting system and a passenger seat occupant sensor, wherein the passenger seat occupant sensor is selected from a group consisting of a door sensor, a seat belt sensor, a camera, and an occupant classifier;
• a rear seat zone including a rear seat lighting system and a rear seat occupant sensor, wherein the rear seat occupant sensor is selected from a group consisting of a door sensor, a seat belt sensor, a camera, and an occupant classifier;
• and
• a lighting control module configured to:
• operate in a first lighting mode and a second lighting mode;
• in the first lighting mode, supply power to the passenger seat lighting system and the rear seat lighting system during operation of the vehicle;
• and
• in the second lighting mode:
• supply power to the passenger seat lighting system in response to the passenger seat occupant sensor sensing a passenger in the passenger seat zone during operation of the vehicle,
• not supply power to the passenger seat lighting system in response to the passenger seat occupant sensor not sensing the passenger in the passenger seat zone during operation of the vehicle;
• supply power to the rear seat lighting system in response to the rear seat occupant sensor sensing a passenger in the rear seat zone during operation of the vehicle,
• not supply power to the rear seat lighting system in response to the rear seat occupant sensor not sensing the passenger in the rear seat zone during operation of the vehicle,
• wherein at least one of the passenger seat lighting system and the rear seat lighting system includes a red, green, and blue (RGB) light emitting diode (LED).
