  • Patent number: 11518243
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for controlling subsystems of a vehicle. The system comprises a control unit, a speedometer or vehicle speed unit, a sensor in communication with the control unit that is configured to detect at least one of a first activation stimulus or a second activation stimulus; and a control panel in communication with the control unit. The control panel displays a plurality of selectable vehicle control options. When the vehicle is moving above a threshold velocity, at least one vehicle control option is disabled for the first activation stimulus and enabled for the second activation stimulus.

  • Patent number: 11403889
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for a part lifecycle system. The part lifecycle system includes a part lifecycle apparatus. The part lifecycle apparatus includes a memory. The memory is configured to store multiple part profiles including a first part profile. The part lifecycle apparatus includes a sensor that is configured to determine performance data or lifecycle data of the first part. The part lifecycle apparatus includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to determine a baseline performance or a baseline lifecycle of the first part based on the first part profile. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that the performance data or the lifecycle data exceeds a threshold based on the baseline performance or the baseline lifecycle of the first part, respectively, and provide an indication to a user that the first part needs maintenance.
