1. A method for personalizing vehicular comfort settings for a specific user, the method comprising:

  • in response to identifying the specific user in a vehicle, autonomously launching an adaptation application in the vehicle;

    upon launching the adaptation application, automatically downloading a historical comfort setting profile for the specific user, the historical comfort setting profile including individual comfort setting records;

    autonomously updating the historical comfort setting profile with a comfort setting record corresponding to each instance of an automatic climate control setting, a manual climate control setting, or an alternate climate control setting while the specific user is in the vehicle;

    dynamically predicting an in-vehicle setting within respective predetermined time increments while the specific user is in the vehicle or in response to a user request, the predicted in-vehicle setting and the respective predetermined time increments based upon geographic location data points and a set of climate control related settings retrieved from the individual comfort setting records corresponding to the specific user, wherein a time period for the respective predetermined time increments is inversely proportional to a frequency of implementations of a comfort setting initiated by the specific user; and

    causing a most recently predicted in-vehicle setting corresponding to the specific user to be displayed on a vehicle display while the specific user is in the vehicle.
