Abstract

An audio control device for a vehicle is provided. The audio control device includes control circuitry that is communicatively coupled to one or more audio reproduction devices of the vehicle. From one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, the control circuitry receives one or more signals. corresponding to a detection of a plurality of objects in a physical space surrounding the vehicle. The control circuitry determines a scene of the physical space, based on the plurality of objects. The control circuitry determines distance between a first object of the detected plurality of objects and the vehicle, based on the received one or more signals. The control circuitry adjusts one or more audio parameters of the audio reproduction devices, based on the determined scene and the determined distance. The control circuitry controls the audio reproduction devices to reproduce a first audio output based on the adjusted audio parameters.
