Systems For a Shared Vehicle
First Claim
1. A shared-use vehicle management system comprising at least one shared-use vehicle including an actual driven vehicle, at least two candidate drivers including a first driver and a second driver wherein the actual driven vehicle has an actual driver selected from the at least two candidate drivers, the actual driven vehicle is further comprised of at least one storage compartment, an onboard computer, the at least one storage compartment has a lock actuator, a controller to at least control the lock actuator operable to lock and unlock the at least one storage compartment, the onboard computer accesses a controller having a method of obtaining a location of the actual driven vehicle, a location of the actual driver having at least one enabling geofence and at least one disabling geofence, the onboard computer communicates to the controller to disable the lock actuator from unlocking the at least one storage compartment to prevent access of the at least one storage compartment to the actual driver when either outside of the at least one enabling geofence or when within the at least one disabling geofence.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for automatically adjusting a vehicle feature of a vehicle, where the system includes a first sensor, an onboard computer, a camera, a mirror, a controller; an actuator; and an algorithm. The algorithm instructs the onboard computer in steps for adjusting one or more vehicle features. The first sensor and the controller are in electronic communication with the onboard computer and the controller is in electronic communication with one or more actuators that connect to and adjust the various vehicle features. The onboard computer includes or accesses a database that correlates users, features, and vehicle feature settings. Such vehicle features include seat position and camera viewing angle.
