Speed-based window control

1. A vehicle comprising:

a speed sensor; and

a body control module;

wherein, when a side window is open, the body control module is to:

monitor, via the speed sensor, a speed of the vehicle; and

in response to the speed of the vehicle satisfying a first speed threshold:

store, in memory, an initial position of the side window to enable restoring the side window to the initial position;

close the side window; and

activate an air conditioner; and

wherein, when the side window is closed and the air conditioner of an HVAC system is active, the body control module is to:

monitor, via the speed sensor, the speed of the vehicle;

receive an air quality indicator from an external server; and

in response to (a) the speed of the vehicle satisfying a second speed threshold and (b) the air quality indicator satisfying an air quality threshold:

open the side window to the initial position stored in memory; and

deactivate the air conditioner of the HVAC system.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the body control module is to, when activating the air conditioner of an HVAC system, determine a temperature setting and a blower speed setting for the air conditioner.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein preferences of a user for the temperature setting and the blower speed setting are stored in memory.

4. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the temperature setting and the blower speed setting are based on a cabin temperature and an ambient temperature.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the body control module is to, when closing the side window:

initiate a counter;

when an obstruction is detected in a path of the side window, increment the counter; and

in response to the counter satisfying an attempt threshold, stop closing the side window.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the body control module is to, when the side window is closed and the air conditioner of the HVAC system is active:

monitor, via the speed sensor, a speed of the vehicle;

in response to the speed of the vehicle satisfying a second speed threshold, open the side window to the initial position stored in memory and then deactivate the air conditioner of the HVAC system.

7. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the body control module is to, before deactivating the air conditioner of the HVAC system, store a temperature setting and a blower setting in memory.

8. A method comprising:

monitoring, with a speed sensor, a speed of a vehicle;

monitoring an air quality indicator received from an external server;

in response to the speed of the vehicle satisfying a first speed threshold when one of a plurality of side windows is open:

storing, in memory, initial position settings of the plurality of side windows to facilitate restoring the positions of the plurality of side windows to the initial position settings;

closing, with window controllers, the plurality of side windows; and

after the plurality of side windows are closed, activating, with a processor, an air conditioner; and

in response to (a) the speed of the vehicle satisfying a second speed threshold and (b) the air quality indicator satisfying an air quality threshold when all of the plurality of side windows are closed and the air conditioner of an HVAC system is active:

opening at least one of the plurality of side windows to a corresponding one of the initial position settings; and

deactivating the air conditioner of the HVAC system.

9. The method of claim 8 , including, when activating the air conditioner of an HVAC system, determining a temperature setting and a blower speed setting for the air conditioner.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein preferences of a user for the temperature setting and the blower speed setting are stored in memory.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the temperature setting and the blower speed setting are based on a cabin temperature and an ambient temperature.

12. The method of claim 8 , including, when closing the plurality of side windows:

initiating a counter;

when an obstruction is detected in a path of one of the plurality of side windows, incrementing the counter; and

in response to the counter satisfying an attempt threshold, returning the plurality of side windows to their original position settings.

13. The method of claim 8 , including, when all of the plurality of side windows are closed and the air conditioner of an HVAC system is active:

monitoring, via the speed sensor, a speed of the vehicle;

in response to the speed of the vehicle satisfying a second speed threshold:

opening at least one of the plurality of side windows to a corresponding one of the initial position settings; and

deactivating the air conditioner of the HVAC system.

14. The method of claim 13 , including, before deactivating the air conditioner of the HVAC system, storing a temperature setting and a blower setting in memory.

15. A vehicle comprising:

a speed sensor; and

a body control module that, when a window is closed and an air conditioner is active, is to:

monitor, via the speed sensor, a vehicle speed;

receive an air quality indicator from an external server; and

responsive to the vehicle speed satisfying a speed threshold and the air quality indicator satisfying an air quality threshold:

open the window to a stored initial position; and

deactivate the air conditioner.
