  • Patent number: 10131225
    Abstract: A system for ignition control and gear selection of a vehicle is described herein. The system comprises a removable device, a docking portion of the vehicle, and a control module of the vehicle. The removable device comprises identification circuitry; and a body housing the identification circuitry. The docking portion of the vehicle is configured to receive the removable device. The control module of the vehicle is configured to identify the removable device prior to ignition of the vehicle, the removable device identified based, at least in part, on the identification circuitry; cause ignition of the vehicle in response to detecting a first interaction with the removable device; and cause the vehicle to change from a first gear to a second gear in response to detecting a second interaction with the removable device.
