Abstract: A method and system for navigating a vehicle based upon data of a group includes automatically determining a specific group identity for an operator and one or more occupants of a vehicle by digitally identifying the operator and the one or more occupants of the vehicle based upon Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of a wireless network with multiple antennas in the vehicle to estimate localization of wireless devices of the operator and the one or more occupants, evaluating parameters associated with the specific group identity, and determining a path for the vehicle based upon the specific group identity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for optimizing an antenna topology to detect a seating position of a vehicle occupant. Methods and systems for determining a target position for an antenna of the antenna topology are also disclosed. Determining the target position may be based on a comparison of a predicted seating position to a true seating position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an automatic climate control system of a vehicle include, by one or more onboard processors in operative communication with one or more sensors, initiating the automatic climate control system. The processors receive from the one or more sensors at least a vehicle input and a user identifier input. A unique user climate control system actuation action is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one predictive model to a stored set of climate control system operating parameters. A unique user climate control system operating pattern is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one different predictive model to the stored set of climate control system operating parameters.
