Device and method for adapting a sitting position
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a sitting position of a vehicle occupant in a vehicle having at least one driver-assist system that comprises at least one optical sensor unit and having a vehicle seat that comprises a drive unit for adjusting the sitting position, the method comprising:
- sensing, via the optical sensor unit, at least one physical parameter of a vehicle occupant and/or a hazardous situation outside the vehicle as a potential vehicle occupant approaches; and
performing, on the basis of the sensed physical parameter, a procedure of automatically adjusting and/or pre-setting the sitting position of the vehicle seat.
