Abstract

See full text

A system for a vehicle is configured to enable young children to control certain vehicle functions such as audiovisual, entertainment or temperature control functions. In different variations, the system can detect the presence of a child in a rear vehicle seat, determine whether the child a specific child known to the system and then accordingly grant vehicle function control permissions. The system can detect, interpret, and execute gesture commands issued by a child. In many instances, useable gesture commands can be sufficiently simple that they are understandable to and reproducible by children even as young as toddlers. In general, the operation of the system can decrease driver distraction by freeing a driver of the need to operate vehicle functions on behalf of children.
