Methods and systems for providing driving assistance in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: determining, by a processor, curvature data associated with a roadway ahead of the vehicle; determining, by the processor, velocity data based on the curvature data, steering data of the vehicle, and set speed data associated with a semi-autonomous control system of the vehicle; and generating, by the processor, control commands to the semi-autonomous control system to control the vehicle to a speed other than a set speed of the set speed data based on the velocity data.

Methods and systems for using road preview to control vehicle velocity during cornering

A seat includes a seat base including a first side and a second side, and a seat back including a first side portion and a second side portion. The seat back is pivotable between an upright configuration and a highly reclined configuration. A torso belt system is arranged at the seat system. The torso belt system includes a retractor mechanism positioned adjacent to one of the seat base and the seat back. An amount of flexible webbing includes a first end anchored at the retractor mechanism and a second end. A selectable anchor is connectable to the second end of the amount of flexible webbing. The selectable anchor is selectively arranged in a first position at the seat base when the seat back is in the upright seating configuration and in a second position at the seat back when the seat back is in the highly reclined seating configuration.
