Systems and methods for intelligent control of doors and windows in a vehicle

A vehicle comprising:

• one or more rear seats;
• at least a first rear door;
• one or more processors;
• one or more sensors coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• obtain pre-set vehicle settings associated with a driver of the vehicle, the pre-set vehicle settings comprising a first configuration for a locking features of the first rear door;
• determine, at a first time, that a rear seat, of the one or more rear seats, is unoccupied;
• apply, based on the rear seat being unoccupied, the first configuration to the locking feature of the first rear door;
• determine, at a second time, that the rear seat is occupied by an entity;
• determine, using the one or more sensors, identification information associated with the entity;
• determine, using the one or more sensors, a current state of the vehicle;
• determine a second configuration for the first rear door based on the identification information and the current state of the vehicle;
• and
• apply the second configuration to the first rear door.

A method comprising:

• obtaining pre-set vehicle settings associated with a driver of the vehicle, the pre-set vehicle settings comprising a first setting for a locking feature of a rear door of the vehicle;
• determining that a rear seat of the vehicle is unoccupied;
• applying, by the vehicle, based on the rear seat being unoccupied, the first setting to the locking feature of the rear door of the vehicle;
• determining that the rear seat of the vehicle is occupied;
• determining an identity of an entity occupying the rear seat;
• determining, based on the identity of the entity, a second setting for the rear door;
• and
• applying the second setting to the rear door;
• wherein:
• if the entity is an adult, applying the second setting includes deactivating-a the locking feature of the rear door;
• or
• if the entity is a child or an animal, applying the second setting includes activating the locking feature of the rear door.
