Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for an automatic garage door system for a vehicle. The system may include one or more occupant sensors configured to detect or determine occupant data indicating a number of occupants within the vehicle. The system may further include one or more cameras configured to capture video data of a surrounding area of the vehicle. The system may further include an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to receive the occupant data from the one or more occupant sensors and the video data from the one or more cameras. The ECU may be further configured to determine whether each of the number of occupants have entered a garage based on the received video data. The ECU may be further configured to transmit, via a network access device, one or more signals to a garage door transceiver of the garage to close a garage door of the garage.
