ADJUSTING SEATBELT TENSION BASED ON A DRIVING CHALLENGE AND PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENT
DRIVE
June 18, 2026
Embodiments described herein relate to seatbelt systems for vehicles. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory stores a module including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect, based on occupant data regarding an occupant of a vehicle, a physical impairment of the occupant. The instructions also cause the processor to identify, based on environment data regarding an external environment of the vehicle, a driving challenge. The instructions further cause the processor to adjust, based on the physical impairment and the driving challenge, tension applied to a seatbelt contacting a body part associated with the physical impairment.
