Abstract

A method and system for inhibiting power of a vehicle given to a third party. The system includes a mode-indicating, an authenticator coupled to the mode-indicating device, and a power inhibiting device coupled to the mode-indicating device and adapted to selectively inhibit the power of the vehicle. Here, the mode-indicating device is adapted to communicate a power restriction signal to the power inhibiting device to inhibit the power of the vehicle upon an activation of the mode-indicating device by an authenticated driver and until a deactivation of the mode-indicating device by the authenticated driver, and the authenticator is adapted to restrict the activation and the deactivation of the mode-indicating device unless the driver has been authenticated by the authenticator.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 789,822, filed on Apr. 5, 2006, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to method and system for inhibiting power of a vehicle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The operation of a vehicle normally requires only a key. Anti-theft devices exist which add security based on a pass code. More advanced anti-theft devices exist to disable vehicles if biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint scan, is unsuccessful. However, vehicle control systems are severely lacking in a variety of aspects.[0004]For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,586,457, which is herein incorporated by reference, discloses an accelerator pedal obstruction device located beneath an accelerator pedal that prevents and deters unauthorized use of a vehicle by limiting the vehicle to idle speed. Accelerator ped...
