When an autonomous driving vehicle picks a user up, a control device performs departure condition confirmation processing. The departure condition confirmation processing includes first authentication processing that performs authentication of the user outside the autonomous driving vehicle based on first authentication information, door lock release processing that releases a door lock in response to the completion of the first authentication processing, second authentication information provision processing that makes the user acquire second authentication information different from the first authentication information in response to the completion of the first authentication processing, second authentication processing that performs authentication of the user inside a vehicle cabin of the autonomous driving vehicle based on the second authentication information, and start permission processing that permits the start of the autonomous driving vehicle in a case where the second authentication processing is completed.

A geo-proximity Vehicle Alert and Access System (VAAS) is discussed that has a cloud based server having a GPS-based proximity system to control and track a package exchange process, to speed up a package delivery and pick-up process, and to ensure security for the package exchange process. The cloud based server is configured to receive both current GPS coordinates of a package carrier's vehicle and current GPS coordinates of a target vehicle for at least one of package delivery to the target vehicle and package pick up from the target vehicle. The cloud based server is configured to send to the target vehicle the commands to wake-up an on-board telematics module, to give an alert, to unlock the target vehicle, and to lock the target vehicle after receiving a confirmation of the package exchange process.

A smart entry system includes a smart control unit that detects whether communication with a portable device has been established, and a centralized control unit that unlocks a driver's door when a driver's door unlock operation is detected and establishment of communication with the portable device is detected. The centralized control unit includes a timer unit that measures time when a passenger's door open operation is detected or when a passenger's door open operation is detected and the fact that communication with the portable device has not been established is detected. The centralized control unit unlocks at least one of the passengers' doors along with the driver's door when a driver's door unlock operation is detected and establishment of communication with the portable device is detected while the timer unit is measuring a certain period of time.

The object of the present invention is to provide a convenient means for accessing a car or other automobile, and operation of the engine and other controlled functions, while making it more difficult for criminals to gain access to the car. A car security system comprises a key fob, a car transceiver system, and a security card RFID. The key fob comprises a fob PCB having a fob antenna, and a converter tab which has tab circuitry and an antenna.

This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for automatically securing a vehicle such as a police truck or an emergency response vehicle and/or the contents of the vehicle after a bailout by the driver. In one exemplary method, a computer is configured to use a sensor system to detect that a driver of a vehicle has bailed out of the vehicle. Based at least in part on detecting that the driver has bailed out of the vehicle, the computer can execute operations such as automatically locking a door of the vehicle, logging out a computer located in the vehicle, locking a first component inside the vehicle such as a gun vault, and/or disabling an operation of another component in the vehicle such as a trunk release or an ignition switch.
