The invention relates to a brake disk lock comprising a brake disk detection device, a sensor for detecting a positional change of the lock, an alarm module that is configured to output an alarm when the sensor detects a relevant positional change of the lock, an unlocking motor for unlocking the lock, an authentication module for a wireless authentication of a user of the lock, and an actuation element that can be actuated by the user and by means of which the authentication module can be activated. A further subject is a locking system comprising such a lock and a mobile end device by means of which a user of the brake disk lock can authenticate himself thereat. The invention further relates to a method of unlocking a brake disk lock.

The present invention is a vehicle or trailer anti-theft device including electro-mechanical means and a temporary electrical power supply. The temporary electrical power supply acts momentarily upon the electro-mechanical device, thereby causing it to move into an activated condition. In its activated condition, it acts upon either on at least one wheel of the trailer, or the vehicle's parking brake system, to lock the at least one wheel, and remains in its activated condition without the need for any external power supply until such time as the electro-mechanical device is activated or re-connected to the temporary electrical power supply whereby the power supply is able to act momentarily upon the electro-mechanical device, and return said device to its deactivated condition, thereby causing the at least one wheel to be unlocked or the vehicle park brake to deactivate.

An active brake locking system has one or more valves in communication with an existing hydraulic vehicle system; one or more actuators controlling operation of the one or more valves; and a power source electrically connected to one or more processors and a media storage device, wherein the one or more actuators control a flow of fluids within the existing vehicle system.

A system has a communication system that is in communication with a computing system. The computing system runs computer-executable instructions that may examine a profile of a passenger. Furthermore, the system may determine based upon the profile that support is to be provided audibly to the passenger whenever support is provided to the passenger. The system may also detect divergences from a predetermined path or route, which is determined may be determined by comparing a position signal output against the predetermined path. In response to detecting divergences, the system may further output an audible support message having content based on the detected divergences. Moreover, the system may be configured to contact authorities and stop the autonomous vehicle.

Full take over (FTO) of a vehicle permits a vehicle operator to remote start the vehicle, open one or more doors, enter the vehicle, and operate the vehicle without any engine shutdown. FTO may be achieved by a system for: detecting a remote start request, activating a key fob to allow for reading a security code, emulating an electrical brake pedal press, emulating an activation of the vehicle's start switch, and determining whether the vehicle is started. The vehicle driver may thereby unlock the vehicle, open the vehicle door, and drive the vehicle without the vehicle shutting down.
