Tesla does something similar. Each paired phone or key can be associated with a seat profile. As long as you each have your own phone/key it will automatically select the correct profile when you enter the car. Camera could solve the problem of knowing which profile to use when multiple phones/keys are in the car. But i suspect facial recognition would be much less accurate the rest of the time. Perhaps use phone/key with as primary trigger and only use the camera when multiple contradictory signals are received..
Our Suburu does that.
It has no way of knowing which phone is in the driver seat if multiple phones are in the car.
I saw this feature during my test drive because I asked about it. It allowed up to either four or six drivers, can’t remember which, but it was definitely more than just two.
Too complicated. many cars already associate this information with a given key, I..e driver A’s keyfob/card/phone is used to enter the vehicle, so those settings are applied
In many cars including my I-Pace, the car does know where within the car the key is located, so it does know who is in the driver seat if there is multiple keys in the car. That's of course assuming you don't hold them both in the same pocket. But in general scenario when I commute with my wife it knows who opened the driver door and adjusts all the settings to the correct profile.
When I walk up to my 2013 Volvo with keyless entry to unlock the drivers door, it won't even let my kid open the door handle 4' to my right without me moving closer to it.
Nah - It should know which device is approaching from where, and localize the driver.
