Abstract

An apparatus for a vehicle includes processing circuitry configured to obtain identification information on a future passenger of the vehicle, the identification information comprising an ultra-wideband communication identification of a mobile device of the future passenger. The processing circuitry is also configured to locate the future passenger outside the vehicle using ultra-wideband communication, the ultra-wideband communication being performed between an ultra-wideband transceiver of the vehicle and the mobile device of the future passenger and being based on the ultra-wideband communication identification of the mobile device. The processing circuitry is further configured to compute guidance information based on the location of the future passenger of the vehicle, and provide the guidance information via an interface.
