7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising learning the automatically selected vehicle settings as a function of a user state, the user state based on one or more of the physical activity level of the user and the cognitive load of the user.

8. An in-vehicle infotainment system, comprising:

a processor;

an external device interface communicatively coupled to a mobile device; and

a storage device containing instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive aggregated input regarding a physical condition and an environment of a user from the mobile device, the aggregated input regarding the physical condition of the user collected by a wearable device communicatively coupled to the mobile device;

automatically select settings for one or more components of the in-vehicle infotainment system, before receiving a user input, based on the aggregated input, the settings selected for the user based on a change in the physical condition and environment of the user;

transmit control instructions to the one or more components of the in-vehicle infotainment system, including a climate control system, based on the automatically selected settings;

selectively receive the user input from the user via a user interface of the in-vehicle infotainment system; and

further adjust the settings for the one or more components based on the received user input,

wherein the further adjusting the settings based on the received user input includes overriding the automatically selected settings based on an input from the wearable device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the aggregated input regarding the environment of the user is collected by the mobile device, and wherein the aggregated input regarding the physical condition of the user is transmitted from the wearable device to the mobile device, the aggregated input regarding the environment of the user and the aggregated input regarding the physical condition of the user is aggregated at the mobile device before transmission to the in-vehicle infotainment system.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the automatically selecting settings for the one or more components based on the aggregated input includes automatically selecting settings without receiving the user input at the in-vehicle infotainment system, the mobile device, or the wearable device, and wherein the one or more components of the in-vehicle infotainment system include an audio system and the climate control system.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the automatically selecting settings further includes:

in response to the received aggregated input indicating an elevated physical activity level of the user, adjusting settings of the climate control system to increase cabin cooling.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the automatically selecting settings further includes:

transmitting control instructions to the mobile device to sample an ambient noise level and an ambient music genre; and

receiving input from the mobile device regarding the sampled ambient noise level and ambient music genre.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the automatically selecting settings further includes:

in response to the ambient noise level being higher than a threshold, adjusting a speaker volume to mask ambient noise; and

changing a playlist of the audio system from a last played playlist to a playlist that matches the ambient music genre.

14. An in-vehicle system, comprising:

an audio system;

a climate control system; and

an in-vehicle computing system, including a processor, communicatively coupled to each of the audio system and the climate control system, the in-vehicle computing system configured to:

receive a first input from a wearable device worn by a vehicle operator, the first input regarding a physical condition of the vehicle operator;

receive a second input from a mobile device of the vehicle operator, the second input regarding an environment of the vehicle operator;

automatically select settings of each of the climate control system and the audio system based on the first and second inputs, before receiving a vehicle operator input;

selectively receive the vehicle operator input from the vehicle operator via a user interface of the in-vehicle computing system; and

further adjust the settings of each of the climate control system and the audio system based on the received vehicle operator input including overriding the automatically selected settings based on the first input from the wearable device.
