Abstract:
1. A method for adaptively adjusting settings of a vehicle during a known route, the method comprising: storing, in a memory, a start location and an end location of a driving route; parsing, using a processor, the driving route into a plurality of segments based on at least one of a turn detection, an intersection detection, a change in a road condition, a change in a speed of the vehicle, or a predetermined distance traveled; assigning a unique identification code to each segment; storing, in the memory, a plurality of values corresponding to a plurality of settings, the settings having values determined during a segment of the driving route, wherein each of the plurality of settings corresponds to one of the plurality of values and each of the plurality of values corresponds to one of the plurality of settings; associating, in the memory, each of the plurality of values to the unique identification code of the segment in which the setting was set; and automatically activating, at the beginning of the segment using the processor, at least one of the plurality of settings when the corresponding stored value differs from the value the setting is currently set to.
