  • Publication number: 20190136816
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes an engine ignition system for starting an engine of the motor vehicle. A climate control system heats and/or cools a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the engine ignition system and to the climate control system. The electronic processor determines a time at which a user of the motor vehicle will enter a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, uses the engine ignition system to start the engine before the determined time, and uses the climate control system to achieve a desired temperature of the passenger compartment before the user enters the passenger compartment.

  • Publication number: 20190095714
    Abstract: An item detection arrangement for a motor vehicle includes an image-capturing device capturing first and second images of a scene within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The second image is captured after the first image has been captured. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the image-capturing device, and determines, based on the first image and the second image, that an item is present in the second image but is not present in the first image. The processor transmits an alert signal in response to the determination that an item is present in the second image but is not present in the first image. A user interface receives the alert signal. In response to receiving the alert signal, the user interface provides an indication to a human user of the motor vehicle that an item has been left in the motor vehicle.
