  • SYSTEM AND METHOD OF RF SPEED CONTROL FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20240176343
    Abstract: A system and method includes a wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver integrated into one of a powertrain electrical system, ECU, MCU, and vehicle speed output sensors of the high-performance vehicle, a speed command control device integrated into the wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver to automatically turn ON at a predetermined vehicle speed, and a transmitter and/or transmitter-transceiver operable by law enforcement to transmit RF messaging packets to the wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver when the speed command control device is activated by the transmitter and/or transmitter-transceiver to reduce the speed of the high-performance vehicle. The method may implement Vehicle Speed Ship Mode (VSSM) with the same, similar, or different RF receiver and/or receiver-transceiver by turning ON the speed bit indefinitely by use of custom factory software, RF signal, and/or factory tool.
