Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to seatbelt systems for vehicles. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory stores a module including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect, based on data regarding an occupant of a vehicle, a physical impairment of a body portion of the occupant. The instructions further cause the processor to adjust, based on the physical impairment, an amount of tension applied to a portion of the seatbelt contacting the body portion.
