Abstract
A method is provided for operating a vehicle having an interior control setting system with a computer. One or more occupant input devices generate an occupant input signal associated with sensor data, which indicates a total number of occupants, a classification, and a current emotion for each occupant disposed in the vehicle. One or more processors uses multiple occupant profiles, with each occupant profile mapped to a unique occupant identification and a plurality of actuated interior control settings, to determine an n-occupant emotion vector based on the total number of the occupants and the classification for each occupant. The processor maps the n-occupant emotion vector to interior control settings and determines a predicted interior control setting for the occupant. The processor generates an actuation signal associated with the predicted interior control setting, such that one or more actuators actuate a vehicle component based on the predicted interior control setting.
