Systems and methods for controlling smart fabrics. In some embodiments, the smart fabrics are attached to vehicle seats, benches, and/or beds. In some embodiments, the smart fabrics enable digital components to be embedded in them and can be configured to modify their physical behavior including changing their color, breathability, stiffness, as well as other properties, depending on the applications the fabric is being utilized for. In order to control these smart fabrics and the different properties of them, smart fabric controllers are provided as well as one or more vehicle controllers that help to give instructions and update the firmware of each of the one or more smart fabric controllers on the vehicle.
