Systems and methods are provided for monitoring and mapping a theft of a target vehicle. One method includes grouping a plurality of vehicles in communication with a network to collectively monitor and collect evidence of theft of the target vehicle using camera sensors located in each of the plurality of vehicles. The network is operably connected with at least one processor. At least one input from at least one camera sensor of the plurality of vehicles is obtained and analyzed to determine a direction of travel of the target vehicle. The method includes generating a digital map including an indication of a location and a trajectory based on the direction of travel of the target vehicle. The method provides a communication to a law enforcement agency or a user, with the communication including the digital map.

Systems and methods for adjusting one or more component of a vehicle are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system for adjusting one or more component of a vehicle includes at least one adjustable vehicle component, an authentication device, an audio device, and a controller. The authentication device is configured to detect a vehicle user outside of the vehicle and generate corresponding authentication data. The audio device is configured to receive an audible command from the vehicle user from outside of the vehicle and generate corresponding command data. The controller is programmed to cause an adjustment of the at least one adjustable vehicle component based on the command data when the vehicle user has been authenticated based on the authentication data.

A method of unlocking a vehicle of a user having a handheld device based on visual domain and radio frequency (RF) domain technologies is provided. The method comprises activating an on-board apparatus of the vehicle when the handheld device of the user is within a threshold distance from the vehicle. The method further comprises comparing a visual domain position of the user based on visual domain data with an RF domain position of the user based on RF domain data by a first equation, |d.sub.visual.sup.t.sup.i(X)−d.sub.RF.sup.t.sup.i(X)|<ε.sub.d and a second equation, |φ.sub.visual.sup.t.sup.i(X)−φ.sub.RF.sup.t.sup.i(X)|<ε.sub.φ. The method further comprises validating the user when the first and second equations are true and unlocking the vehicle after the user is validated.

A shared vehicle authenticates a holder of a driver's license prior to the holder accessing and operating the shared vehicle. Previously captured biometric data of at least one biometric feature of the holder of the driving license is obtained from the driver's license. Newly captured biometric data of a corresponding biometric feature of the holder is detected when the holder wants to operate the shared vehicle. The previously captured biometric data and the newly captured biometric data are compared to verify the holder is authorized to operate the shared vehicle. When the biometric data match, the shared vehicle is released for use by the holder. In some instances, biometric data of the driver of the shared vehicle is captured at select times while the shared vehicle is operated to confirm the driver is the holder of the driver's license.

A vehicle unlocking device, including: a memory; a processor connected to the memory; and a reception section configured to receive identification information assigned to respective vehicles, from a terminal carried by a person present at a periphery of a specific vehicle that is one of the respective vehicles, the processor being configured to: acquire an image captured by an imaging section provided at the specific vehicle, and unlock a lock unit of the specific vehicle in a case in which the identification information that has been received is identification information corresponding to the specific vehicle and an image of the person has been acquired.

A vehicle information processing device includes an arrival determination unit that determines, based on positional information of a vehicle under autonomous driving control, whether or not the vehicle arrives at a destination, an approval determination unit that determines, based on approval notification, whether or not a user approves the arrival of the vehicle at the destination, a safety determination unit that determines whether or not surroundings of the vehicle are safe to the user who unboards the vehicle based on vehicle environment information surrounding the vehicle, and a door controller that requests a door control device to open a door in a case where determination is made that the vehicle arrives at the destination, determination is made that the user approves the arrival of the vehicle at the destination, and determination is made that the surroundings of the vehicle are safe to the user who unboards the vehicle.

An alarm system and method of protecting a property from intrusion is disclosed. The property can be a vehicle that includes the alarm system. The alarm system includes an exterior camera for obtaining an exterior camera image data, an interior camera for obtaining an interior camera image data, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine first threat indicator for a potential intruder from the exterior camera image data, determine a second threat indicator for the potential intruder from the interior camera image data, determine a fused threat estimate indicative of an intention of the potential intruder from the first threat indicator and the second threat indicator, determine a consolidated threat estimate from the fused threat estimate and a contextual information for the property, and provide an alarm to protect the property from intrusion based on the consolidated threat estimate.

A support panel assembly includes a lower panel, an upper panel pivotally coupled to the lower panel by a central pedestal, and a first pressure sensor coupled to the central pedestal. In at least one example, the central pedestal is formed of an elastomeric material. In at least one example, bumpers extend downwardly from a lower surface of the upper panel. In at least one example, a sealing closeout extends around peripheral edges of the lower panel and the upper panel.

An autonomous vehicle which transports a user through autonomous driving, having: a body temperature sensor that detects a body temperature of the user; in-cabin signage attached in a vehicle cabin; and a sanitation controller that adjusts a sanitation state in the vehicle cabin. When the body temperature of the user detected by the body temperature sensor is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the sanitation controller causes the in-cabin signage to display a sanitation caution message.
