A tethered device for prevention and recovery of a vehicle component (e.g., a catalytic converter) is provided herein. The tethered device comprises a housing having an exterior surface and defining an interior cavity. The tethered device further comprises an electronic component disposed within the interior cavity. The tethered device further comprises a plurality of spacers extending from the exterior surface and configured to be adjacent to the vehicle component. The plurality of spacers defines a channel configured to promote airflow between the tethered device and the vehicle component thereby minimizing heat transfer between the tethered device and the vehicle component.

A vehicle anti-theft device for a vehicle has a hardware adapter removably attached to an OnBoard Diagnostic II (OBD-II) port of the vehicle. The hardware adapter monitors for unauthorized movement of the vehicle and allows only authorized individuals who enter an authorization code to the hardware adapter to drive the vehicle.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous electric vehicles may be automatically recharged by routing the vehicles to available charging stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A charge level of the battery of an autonomous electric vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a recharging threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to recharge may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a charging station, recharge the battery, and return to its starting location in order to recharge when not in use.

A method for monitoring an interior of a motor vehicle using at least one camera directed into the interior during a temporary access to the interior or to a trunk of the motor vehicle, the camera being switched on by a control unit during the entire access or in the event of deviations from specified rules for the access and transmitting the recorded data to a storage device.
