Systems and methods for limiting functionality of a vehicle are described. In one example, vehicle feature modules may specify vehicle behaviors and vehicle operation is limited according to the specified behaviors. Vehicle actuators may be adjusted to limit vehicle operation according to the specified vehicle behaviors. The vehicle behaviors may apply to powertrain systems, navigation systems, climate control systems, lighting systems and other vehicle systems.

The disclosed vehicle Camera System captures live video and audio to ensure driver protection. Vehicle Camera System introduces a novel, high-quality, vehicle camera system to be mounted on multiple parts of the vehicle, including on the dashboard, side-view mirrors, rear-view mirror, and rear of the vehicle. These cameras are activated as soon as the user pushes the wireless GPS tracking operator button down. The button is located on the inside of the steering wheel and enables the entire system with no abrupt movement. The Vehicle Camera System ensures a fully operational, vehicle camera recording system, and, therefore, guarantees that no victim is wrongfully convicted and is capable of providing exact evidence of the events that occur.

Techniques for interacting with authorized and unauthorized users by a door interface component are discussed herein. A vehicle computing device can implement the door interface component and/or an authentication component to control operation of a door of the vehicle or initiate a communication for assistance. For instance, the door interface component can include a button, that provides different visual indicators and functionality based on whether the user is authorized to enter the autonomous vehicle (e.g., open a door or provide visual indicators for the user to select to cause the door to open) or to request to move the vehicle, initiate hiring the vehicle, or call for help when the user is unauthorized to enter the autonomous vehicle.

A server assigns a vehicle to be provided with a vehicle sharing service to a user based on the received at least one piece of schedule information and position information of a plurality of the vehicles when at least one of schedule information of the user and use information of a vehicle sharing service is received by a terminal for the user. The server operates a communication device to transmit identification information of the assigned vehicle to the terminal for the user, and operates the communication device to transmit user information to the assigned vehicle.

An affixable device can include a locking mechanism, a force-limiting mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The locking mechanism can include an engagement component configured to disable the locking mechanism. The force-limiting mechanism can be configured to limit a locking force of the locking mechanism. The sensing mechanism can be coupled to the engagement component, and can be configured to determine that the force-limiting mechanism has limited the locking force of the locking mechanism. In response to determining the force-limiting mechanism limiting the locking force, the sensing mechanism can cause the engagement component to disable the locking mechanism.

Techniques for using a detector coupled to a controller area network (CAN) bus of a vehicle system to identify and generate alerts in response to wake-up attacks on the vehicle system. Techniques include an electronic control unit (ECU) sending a wake-up message across the CAN bus that is detected by the detector. The detector includes memory and a processor to identify the timestamp of the wake-up message when the vehicle ignition is off. The detector determines a total operational time for the ECU over an observation time period and generates a notification of a wake-up anomaly when the total operational time over the observation time period exceeds a predetermined threshold.

An automotive gateway includes one or more interfaces and one or more processors. The one or more interfaces are configured to communicate with electronic subsystems of a vehicle. The one or more processors and configured to host one or more guest applications, to associate both (i) the hosted guest applications and (ii) a first subset of the electronic subsystems of the vehicle with a non-secured domain, to associate a second subset of the electronic subsystems of the vehicle with a secured domain, and to control communication traffic between the secured domain and the non-secured domain of the vehicle in accordance with a security policy.
