Automatic driver seat adjustment in a vehicle based on seat position imaging is disclosed. A computer system in the vehicle receives target seat position data indicating a target seat position of a set in a vehicle. To adjust the seat to the target seat position, imaging media of the seat is captured with the camera. The imaging media includes images of the seat that are indicative of the current seat position of the seat. The media is processed to determine the current seat position relative to the target seat position. The seat position is then controlled with a seat actuator to move the seat to a new seat position that is toward the target seat position. By utilizing a camera, multiple sensors are not required to keep track of seat position and a camera already used for other purposes in the vehicle can be further utilized for automatic seat positioning.
