System for improving user situational awareness during vehicle ingress

A system comprising:

• one or more sensors of a vehicle that are configured to obtain sensor data as to an environment surrounding a user of the vehicle;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the one or more sensors and that is configured to at least facilitate:
• performing one or more actions for facilitating ingress of the user into the vehicle based on the sensor data;
• wherein at least one of the one or more actions comprise providing a notification to the user, via instructions provided by the processors, with relevant information as to the ingress of the user into the vehicle, including based on the environment surrounding the user.

A vehicle comprising:

• a body;
• a drive system configured to move the body;
• one or more sensors that are configured to obtain sensor data as to an environment surrounding a user of the vehicle;
• a satellite-based location system configured to obtain location data as to a pick-up location at which the user is to ingress into the vehicle;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the one or more sensors and to the satellite-based location system, the processor configured to at least facilitate:
• identifying a door of the vehicle through which the user enters during ingress into the vehicle, based on the sensor data;
• identifying a means of entry for the door for the user during ingress into the vehicle, based on the sensor data;
• and
• performing actions for facilitating ingress of the user into the vehicle based on the sensor data, wherein the actions comprise providing a notification to the user, via instructions provided by the processors, with relevant information as to the ingress of the user into the vehicle, including based on the environment surrounding the user, including by providing the notification as to the pick-up location in addition to an identification of the door and the means of entry for the door.
