A vehicle is provided that includes an imaging device located on the vehicle and oriented to capture images, memory storing one or more pet profiles, and a controller processing the captured images to detect a pet and determining at least one of an estimated pose of the pet and a gait of the pet, wherein the processor determines a bone structure of the pet from the at least one estimated pose and gait and compares the bone structure to the one or more pet profiles to detect an authorized pet, the controller controlling one or more vehicle related features based on the detected authorized pet.

A method for monitoring internal environment of a vehicle implemented in an electronic device includes detecting environment data of internal of the vehicle, and detecting whether an engine of the vehicle is running; when the engine of the vehicle is running and the environment data does not meet a preset threshold, issuing a first alarm; when the engine of the vehicle is not running, obtaining location information of the vehicle, activating a camera device to capture images or shoot a video of internal of the vehicle, and determining whether at least one living creature is inside the vehicle; when the at least one living creature is inside the vehicle, transmitting the location information, and the images or the video and the environment data to a terminal device; and displaying the location information, the images or the video and the environment data, and issuing a second alarm.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting arm and a mirror head at one end of the mounting arm distal from an attachment portion of the mounting arm that is configured for attachment at a vehicle. A mirror reflective element is fixedly attached at the mirror head. An innermost side of the mirror reflective element is attached at a front side of an attachment plate. The mirror reflective element moves in tandem with movement of the mirror head relative to the mounting arm when the driver of the vehicle operates an electrically-operable actuator. The attachment plate includes wall structure that extends from the front side of the attachment plate and circumscribes and spans the perimeter circumferential edge of the glass substrate and does not encroach onto and does not overlap the front surface of the glass substrate of the exterior mirror reflective element.

A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

A vehicle theft-prevention apparatus can include at least one computing device couple to a plurality of sensors and a wireless transceiver. The plurality of sensors can be configured to sense measurements proximate to a vehicle. The at least one computing device can be configured to read a plurality of first measurements of a first sensor of the plurality of sensors. Based on the plurality of first measurements from the first sensor, the at least one computing device can determine that a key fob moved outside of a range of the first sensor. In response to the key fob moving outside of the range of the first sensor, the at least one computing device can transition to an armed state. The at least one computing device can read a plurality of second measurements from a subset of the plurality of sensors. Based on the plurality of second measurements, the at least one computing device can determine that a person has entered the vehicle.

A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to collect biometric data of a vehicle user, identify a set of user-specific data from one or more stored sets of user-specific data based on the biometric data, and receive a request for a stored location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to display the requested location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user do not match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to identify an offset location based on the requested location and a population density of the requested location and display the offset location.

A vehicle security system connected to an external device running a program thereon, the vehicle security system including a front camera disposed on at least a portion of a front portion of a vehicle to record at least one first visual data of a surrounding area in a front of the vehicle thereon, a plurality of rear cameras disposed on at least a portion of a rear bumper of the vehicle to record at least one second visual data of a surrounding area in a rear of the vehicle thereon, a first mirror camera disposed on at least a portion of a first mirror of the vehicle to record at least one third visual data of a surrounding area on a first side of the vehicle thereon, a second mirror camera disposed on at least a portion of a second mirror of the vehicle to record at least one fourth visual data of a surrounding area on a second side of the vehicle thereon, a roof antenna camera disposed on at least a portion of a roof antenna of the vehicle to record at least one fifth visual data of a surrounding area on a roof of the vehicle thereon, a plurality of interior cameras disposed on at least a portion of a rearview mirror of the vehicle to record at least one sixth visual data of a surrounding area within an interior of the vehicle thereon, and a microphone disposed on at least a portion of the rearview mirror of the vehicle to record at least one audio data of a surrounding area of the vehicle.
