Abstract
A method for identifying occupant-specific settings for a vehicle comprises detecting a vehicle occupant; collecting biometric occupant data of the detected vehicle occupant; assembling a descriptor based on at least part of the collected occupant data; storing the descriptor in a database; and updating a cluster of descriptors in the database based on the assembled descriptor, wherein descriptors grouped in the cluster are close to each other, and wherein the cluster corresponds to the detected vehicle occupant. Based on the cluster and assembled descriptor can be assigned to the cluster, and vehicle setting data can be calculated that has been stored in association with the cluster. The vehicle setting data corresponds to occupant-specific settings for the vehicle. A vehicle comprises a system capable of performing such method.
