  • Onboard controller system
    Patent number: 8290680
    Abstract: A system and method for safely slowing or controlling a vehicle's speed or engine speed by selectively replacing a genuine engine control signal with a spoofed engine control signal to slow or control the vehicle. The operator is allowed control of the vehicle (e.g. genuine engine control signal) if the speed is below a threshold speed and the operator is denied control of the vehicle (e.g. spoofed engine control signal) if the speed is above the threshold speed; similarly, a maximum idle engine speed and time to idle before shut-down is enforced by selectively replacing a genuine engine control signal with a spoofed engine control signal, responsive to a set threshold for each. The threshold is set over the air (OTA).

  • Onboard controller system
    Patent number: 7957882
    Abstract: A system and method for safely slowing or stopping a vehicle by selectively replacing a genuine engine control signal with a spoofed engine control signal to slow or stop a vehicle in a gradual or stepped manor. The operator is allowed control of the vehicle (e.g. genuine engine control signal) if the speed is below a threshold speed and the operator is denied control of the vehicle (e.g. spoofed engine control signal) if the speed is above the threshold speed, thus forcing the vehicle to slow to the threshold speed. The threshold is gradually reduced over time, causing the operator to stop the vehicle.

  • Immobilizer system for vehicles
    Patent number: 7272469
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved immobilizer system for automotive vehicles that enables a running vehicle to be effectively immobilized while an authorized driver is absent from the vehicle. The immobilizer may be operated in a number of modes that provide effective protection to a vehicle from theft in a variety of operative situations.
