Being able to determine which one or more mobile devices are in the driver space of a vehicle could also be used advantageously by another example of the second application or software component, which can be used to make “smart pairing” technologies more efficient and accurate. Such software can reside on the mobile devices or in applications being run by the vehicle itself. For example, it is becoming more and more common for vehicles to be configured to adapt automatically to the person who is driving. Many aspects of the driving experience (such as which phone is currently connected to hands free, which address book is shared, which music is being streamed, seat adjustments, mirror adjustment, steering wheel settings, which applications run and are available on the vehicle's console display, and the settings of such applications running on the vehicle's console display, etc.) could be configured within the vehicle if it could be accurately determined who is driving the vehicle.
