  • Transferring control of vehicles
    Patent number: 10515550
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes a communication interface and at least one processor configured to exchange information with another device via the communication interface to allow transfer of control of operable aspects of a vehicle from a source entity to a target entity. In further examples, a method includes exchanging, by an electronic device, information with another device over a communication medium to allow transfer of control of operable aspects of a vehicle from a source entity to a target entity.
