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