Abstract: Some embodiments may provide a method for improving a vehicle's accessibility. A digital tag may be associated with the vehicle. Signals from the digital tag may be received. Based on the signals, information about a person and an animal may be inferred. The person may have a driver profile associated with the vehicle. The animal may be bearing the digital tag. Based on inferring from the information that the person may intend for the animal to occupy the vehicle, a setting of the vehicle may be modified.

Abstract: Some embodiments may provide a method for a pet mode for a vehicle. The method may be performed by a control module of the vehicle. The method may include detecting an animal occupying the vehicle. Detecting the animal occupying the vehicle may be based on information captured by an interior sensor. The interior sensor may be capable of detecting weight, motion, or sound. The method may include detecting a climate zone occupied by the animal. Detecting the climate zone occupied by the animal may be based on the information. The interior of the vehicle may be separated into a plurality of climate zones. The method may include modifying a setting of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of the vehicle to modify an environment in the occupied climate zone. Modifying the setting may be based on the location of the animal.
