Patent Images
1. A vehicle energy consumption optimization system comprising:
- a controller configured to;
detect a trigger event to determine a passenger departure;
receive at least a first and second sensor input to determine a vacancy zone in response to the trigger event;
associate a feature usage with the vacancy zone; and
deactivate the feature usage associated with the vacancy zone.

Abstract
A vehicle energy consumption optimization system may include a controller configured to detect a trigger event to determine a passenger departure. The controller may receive at least a first and second sensor input to determine a vacancy zone in response to the trigger event, associate a feature usage with the vacancy zone, and deactivate the feature usage associated with the vacancy zone.
