Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying an attribute of a user via at least one sensor in an interior of a vehicle, the attribute of the user including a body weight of the user; creating an electronic log of the driver's weight over time; calculating an average weight of the driver over a predetermined time interval; comparing the average weight of the driver to a near match weight threshold to determine whether the average weight of the driver is within the near match weight threshold; identifying the user as the driver when the average weight of the driver is within the near match weight threshold; querying an electronic storage device with the attribute of the user to determine whether the attribute of the user matches at least one stored driver attribute, the electronic storage device including at least one driver profile including at least one driver attribute and stored driver settings; and setting driver settings in the vehicle with a processor based on the stored driver settings when the attribute of the user matches a stored driver attribute in the electronic storage device.
