OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM OUTSIDE THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY ZONE FOR THE VEHICLE, METHOD OF AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE FRONT SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle system includes a front row seat and at least one controller. The front row seat may be a driver seat or a front passenger seat. The at least one controller may respond to a signal, for example, a signal transmitted from a key fob or a signal indicative of movement of a rear door handle. In response to the signal, the controller may move the front row seat based on data indicative of a size of a rear passenger expected to be seated behind the front row seat before the expected rear passenger enters the vehicle. The size of the rear passenger may be determined via data from an external object sensor such as a blind spot detection optical sensor, lidar sensor or ultrasonic sensor.
