Abstract: The automobile security system prevents the unauthorized operation of a vehicle. The automobile security system comprises an imaging device, an override device, and a management device. The imaging device captures an image of a person that is attempting to initiate the operation of the vehicle. The management device compares the captured image to images of people authorized to operate the vehicle. If a match if found, the automobile security system enables the operation of the vehicle. Further opportunities are then given to: 1) review a display of images of people who operated or attempted to operate the vehicle; and, 2) authorize an additional person to operate the vehicle. The override device is provided to enable temporary operation of the vehicle.
