A vehicle immobilization system includes a detection element operable to detect a level of an intoxicant in a user's breath. A control module is operable to receive a signal from the detection element indicating the level of intoxicant in the user's breath, and to selectively restrict operation of a vehicle based on the level of intoxicant in the user's breath exceeding a threshold. A wireless relay is operable to replace a standard relay in the vehicle, and to wirelessly communicate with the control module such that the control module is operable to control the wireless relay to selectively restrict operation of the vehicle.

A control device includes a communication unit configured to acquire control information on a vehicle from an information processing device in a wired or wireless communication, and a processing unit configured to execute a process of starting vehicle control based on the control information. The processing unit continues or suspends the process of starting vehicle control depending on a result of an authentication process on usage authority of the control information, and the authentication process is executed while the process of starting vehicle control is executed.

A tractor trailer monitoring system includes a network having a server and a database; a first computing device; a monitoring platform to be accessible from the first computing device; a tractor trailer system, having a tractor unit; an air supply control system to control air supply to a brake system of the trailer, the air supply control system having a CPU to receive commands from the first computing device; the first computing device and monitoring platform are to receive an identifying code from a user to activate air supply to the brake system of the trailer.

A device for preventing a movement of an at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle in an autonomous driving mode includes an actuator where an immobilization function of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle is activatable or deactivatable by the actuator. The actuator is a switch accessible from outside of the at least partially autonomously drivable vehicle. Access to the actuator is controllable by an overriding safety device.

At least a portion of a setting pattern of functions relating to a boat is automatically changed in response to execution of activation operations different from one another. The boat includes a controller configured or programmed to activate the boat by each of a plurality of different activation operations. When an activation operation of the activation operations satisfying a first condition is executed, the controller sets functions relating to the boat with the first setting pattern. When an activation operation not satisfying the first condition is executed, the controller sets functions relating to the boat with a second setting pattern having setting contents at least partially different from the first setting pattern.

The invention relates to a method for granting access to a service provided by a connected device for a user having a user's device and requesting said access, the method comprising the steps of: receiving by the user's device from the connected device a request to validate a user profile, a user profile corresponding to a list of at least one data item representing the user's capabilities to use a service provided by the given connected device; requesting by the user's device to a verification server associated to the at least one data item to validate said data item, and receiving a digital signature of said data item generated by the verification server as a proof of the validation; transmitting the data item of the user profile and its digital signature to a device belonging to the owner of the connected device for it to be informed that said data item is validated, the user profile being considered as validated when the digital signatures of all the data items listed in the user profile are correctly verified by the owner's device; granting for the user access to the service provided by the connected device when the user profile is validated.
