An anti-theft device for a vehicle includes an approach prevention cover disposed in a shift lever housing to cover a shift cable connected to a shift lever so as to prevent the shift cable from being detached. Such an anti-theft vehicle makes is possible to easily and efficiently prevent theft of the vehicle by preventing a shift cable operated along with operation of a shift lever from being removed.

A position detection device includes a magnetic field generating portion to generate a magnetic field and move between a first position and a second position, a first magnetic detection element to detect a first magnetic field, a second magnetic detection element to detect a second magnetic field different from the first magnetic field, and a determination unit to determine that the magnetic field generating portion has reached the first position when the first magnetic detection element and the second magnetic detection element both detect a predetermined threshold value.

A monitor monitors whether a person is present inside a vehicle that travels in an automated driving mode. The monitor also monitors the state of the vehicle. A controller performs one or more actions according to the result of monitoring of the monitor. This means that when one or more persons are present inside the vehicle, the controller performs one or more actions according to the state of the vehicle. In other words, when no person is present inside the vehicle, the controller does not perform one or more actions. Here, the controller generates control information for controlling the vehicle according to the result of the monitoring, and transmits it to the vehicle.

A voice recognition transmission system for preventing unauthorized activation of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a microphone, a voice recognition module, and an automotive gear shifter. The microphone receives a voice command. The voice recognition module analyzes the voice command against a plurality of authorized voice profiles. The voice recognition module determines if the voice command reaches a threshold of similarity in tone and tenor of one authorized voice profile. A voice command that reaches the threshold of similarity will activate the automotive gear shifter to perform the voice command. A voice command that fails to reach the threshold of similarity will activate an interlock. The interlock will prevent an unauthorized individual from operating the vehicle and activate the vehicle alarm system. A notification will be sent to a connected electronic device when a voice command activates the automotive gear shifter or the interlock.

An anti-theft apparatus of a shift lever for a vehicle includes: a shift lever case having a shift lever which is connected with a shift cable and a mounting portion fixing a socket of the shift cable; and a mounting bracket which is detachably connected to the mounting portion to cover the mounting portion when the mounting bracket is mounted to the mounting portion, wherein the mounting bracket includes: a first end portion having a penetration hole through which the shift cable passes when the mounting bracket is mounted to the mounting portion; and a second end portion having an insert groove into which a part of the socket is inserted and in which fixing pins wrap the shift cable to limit a lateral movement of the shift cable.

A controller is integrated into a vehicle with the controller coupled to a fob detector and also coupled to a vehicle disabler. Examples of vehicle disablers include a brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI), a transmission shift interlock (TSI) and an air brake or electric parking brake of the vehicle. The fob detector can be provided along with the controller and separate from a mechanical key ignition of the vehicle, or can be a fob detector associated with a keyless ignition of the vehicle. A mobile fob is used as part of the system, carried on the person of an authorized driver of the vehicle. This fob can be provided separately from the vehicle, along with the controller, or can be a fob associated with a keyless entry of the vehicle. The controller causes the vehicle disabler to not be disengaged unless presence of the fob is detected by the fob detector.
