1. A process for controlling air quality within an interior of a motor vehicle, the process comprising:

  • providing a motor vehicle with an HVAC system, the HVAC system having an internal air supply (IAS) option and an external air supply (EAS) option, the HVAC system having an automated controller operative to activate the IAS for an IAS time and to activate the EAS for an EAS time, the HVAC system also having a manual controller operative for an individual to manually activate the IAS and the EAS; and

    providing a reinforcement learning system (RLS) having a memory circuitry and a processing circuitry;

    the memory circuitry having a lookup table with a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells associated with a motor vehicle condition and having a datum for a number of manual IAS activations and a datum for a number of manual EAS activations;

    the processing circuitry querying one of the plurality of cells as a function of a current motor vehicle condition, reading the number of manual IAS activations and the number of manual EAS activations for the one cell, and adjusting the IAS time and the EAS time as a function of the queried data.
