Abstract:
Vehicle systems and methods for determining a target position are disclosed. A vehicle includes a user detection system configured to output a gesture signal in response to a hand of a user performing at least one gesture to indicate a final target position. The vehicle also includes a user gaze monitoring system configured to output an eye location signal that indicates an actual eye position of the user. The vehicle also includes one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the processors. The processors store machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to determine a first point and a second point located on the hand of the user based at least in part on the gesture signal from the user detection system. The first point and the second point define a pointing axis of the hand of the user.
