Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting and executing automated control of adjustable components of a vehicle based on occupant classification in a group identity database. Methods and systems for generating and employing the group identity database are also disclosed. Occupancy information may be utilized to determine how the group identity database is employed.

Navigational attribute driven system and method for adjusting an adjustable component of a vehicle

A method and system for navigating a vehicle based upon data of a group includes automatically determining a specific group identity for an operator and one or more occupants of a vehicle by digitally identifying the operator and the one or more occupants of the vehicle based upon Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of a wireless network with multiple antennas in the vehicle to estimate localization of wireless devices of the operator and the one or more occupants, evaluating parameters associated with the specific group identity, and determining a path for the vehicle based upon the specific group identity.
