SAFETY METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES

Abstract:

Methods and systems to restrict vehicle operations based on driver identity. Owners or administrators may impose restrictions on certain users of a vehicle. Certain drivers may be classed as restricted users that have associated limitations or restrictions on their use of vehicle features. The vehicle determines the identity of the driver. Based on that identity and/or the class with which the identity is associated, some features may be disabled and some features may be subject to limitation, such as mileage, speed, or location restrictions. Ongoing monitoring of limited features may result in detection of a violation that triggers one or more security actions.
