  • Vehicle security
    Patent number: 10358116
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing vehicle security include a server that, responsive to receiving a remote command for a vehicle from an authorized mobile device, transmits the command to the vehicle. The vehicle responsively executes the command. The server also monitors third-party Internet data for security risks. Responsive to identifying a security risk for the vehicle based on the monitored third-party Internet data after the command is executed, the server deauthorizes the mobile device from remotely commanding the vehicle.
