In some implementations, a device may receive an indication of a code associated with granting authenticated access to a door. The device may transmit, to a user device, presentation information to cause an augmented reality image of an input pad to be displayed by the user device, wherein the augmented reality image is displayed over an area of an image of an exterior of the door via a user interface. The device may detect, via a camera device, one or more user inputs to the area of the exterior of the vehicle based on tracking a movement of a user. The device may identify an input code based on the one or more user inputs. The device may perform an action to cause the door to be unlocked based on the input code matching the code.

This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for eliminating false activation of components of a vehicle when the vehicle is parked in a garage. Example components can be a door lock, a door latch, a door activation servomotor, or a light. In an example method, a vehicle entry authorization system of a vehicle operates a sensor system to obtain dimensional information of an interior portion of the garage. The vehicle entry authorization system may then detect a presence of a mobile device (such as a smartphone, smart device, or a vehicle key fob) and determines the location of the mobile device based on the dimensional information. If the mobile device is located outside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system refrains from activating a component of the vehicle. However, if the mobile device is located inside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system activates the component.

A system for a vehicle includes a rear gate assembly of the vehicle that includes a closure panel operable to pivot vehicle-downward from a closed position to an open position. The system also includes a support feature coupled to the closure panel and operable to move relative to the closure panel between a retracted position and a deployed position. In the open position of the closure panel, the position of the support feature in the deployed position is further vehicle-downward than the position of the support feature in the retracted position. The system also includes a sensing system of the vehicle that detects a living being proximate to the rear gate assembly. The system further includes a controller that authenticates an identity and determines a position of the living being based on data received from the sensing system and prompts movement of the support feature from the retracted position to the deployed position based on the authenticated identity and determined position of the living being.

The present invention provides a travel control apparatus (20) including an in-vehicle image acquisition unit (21) that acquires an in-vehicle image generated by a camera for capturing an inside of a vehicle compartment of a reserved vehicle, an in-vehicle sensing unit (22) that senses that a reserving person is present within a vehicle compartment of the reserved vehicle, based on the in-vehicle image, and a permission output unit (23) that outputs, when it is sensed that the reserving person is present within a vehicle compartment of the reserved vehicle, travel permission of the reserved vehicle.

The invention relates to a passive entry passive start system and method, and a vehicle. The system includes a vehicle and a mobile terminal, where the vehicle includes: a plurality of sensors configured to interact with the mobile terminal to acquire service-related data, each sensor having a master-slave integration function in which the sensor is able to be a master node or a slave node; a central module configured to perform data exchange with the sensors, and generate a corresponding control instruction based on the service-related data received from the sensors, and configured to designate one sensor in the plurality of sensors as a master node and the other sensors and the central module as slave nodes, or designate the central module itself as a master node and the plurality of sensors as slave nodes, where the master node implements data exchange with the slave nodes; and a controller configured to receive the control instruction from the central module and execute a corresponding control action according to the control instruction. According to the invention, separation between hardware and software can be implemented, and development flexibility can be enhanced.

A system detects tampering of an electronic system of a vehicle operated by a driver. The system receives historical occurrences of at least one diagnostic trouble code (DTC) generated by the onboard vehicle computing system based on sensor data received from a vehicle sensor during a trip. The system identifies a length of the trip and a speed of the vehicle when each DTC was generated. The system identifies a distance the vehicle had traveled when each DTC was generated. The system determines a subsequent trip was started, whether a driver operating the vehicle on the subsequent trip is a same driver or a new driver, whether DTCs were generated during the trip, and whether DTCs were generated during the subsequent trip. The system determines a tamper rating for the driver that indicates a likelihood that the driver has tampered with the vehicle.
