Abstract: Systems and methods for teaching control button functionality to an occupant of a vehicle are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for teaching control button functionality to an occupant of a vehicle includes a plurality of adjustable vehicle components, an audio device, a plurality of control buttons, and a controller. The audio device is configured to receive an audible trigger from the occupant. The plurality of control buttons are each configured to cause an adjustment of at least one adjustable vehicle component when actuated by the occupant. The controller is programmed to (i) disable the plurality of control buttons upon reception of the audible trigger by the audio device, and (ii) upon actuation of a control button of the plurality of control buttons, cause the audio device to output an audible message relating to the at least one adjustable vehicle component configured to be adjusted by the control button.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting one or more window of a vehicle cabin are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for adjusting one or more window of a vehicle cabin includes at least one noise sensor, a plurality of windows, and a controller. The at least one noise sensor is configured to detect wind noise at one or more location of the vehicle cabin. The plurality of windows are each adjustable between a plurality of configurations to permit differing levels of air flow between the vehicle cabin and an atmosphere outside of the vehicle cabin. The controller is programmed to cause an adjustment of at least one window of the plurality of windows based on feedback from the at least one noise sensor regarding a detected level of wind noise.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle pedal, a vehicle engine and an electronic control unit. The vehicle engine generates a torque output of the vehicle in accordance with an operation of the vehicle pedal. The electronic control unit controls the vehicle pedal between a normal state, an increased resistance state and a decreased resistance state. The vehicle pedal is less sensitive to driver pressure in the increased resistance state. The vehicle pedal is more sensitive to driver pressure in the decreased resistance state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing driver awareness within a vehicle are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the system includes an audio device, a memory, and a controller. The audio device is configured to output audible sentences to a driver of the vehicle and receive audible responses from the driver. The memory stores a plurality of dialog trees, each dialogue tree triggering a plurality of audible sentences. The controller is programmed to (i) cause the audio device to output a first audible sentence to the driver, (ii) receive response data relating to a first audible response provided by the driver to the audio device, (iii) select a dialogue tree of the plurality of dialogue trees based on the response data, and (iv) cause the audio device to output a plurality of second audible sentences from the selected dialogue tree.
