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.

Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting and executing automated control of climate comfort settings based on user classification within a group identity database. Methods of generating and employing the group identity database are also disclosed.

Group identity-driven system and method for adjustment of cabin comfort setting

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.

Systems and methods are disclosed for optimizing an antenna topology to detect a seating position of a vehicle occupant. Methods and systems for determining a target position for an antenna of the antenna topology are also disclosed. Determining the target position may be based on a comparison of a predicted seating position to a true seating position.

Methods and systems are provided for selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle on a road segment that includes one or more road attributes associated with increased levels of anxiety. In one example, selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle includes determining a driver classification for a driver operating the vehicle; predicting an anxiety level of the driver at an upcoming traffic condition, based on the driver classification; and selectively inhibiting an upcoming engine idle-stop event based on the predicted anxiety level of the driver.
