A computer-implemented method that, when executed by data processing hardware, causes data processing hardware to perform operations comprising receiving a service request associated with a service request button of a vehicle, receiving one or more service button engagement scoring inputs each associated with a corresponding vehicle status, calculating a service request confidence score based on the one or more service button engagement scoring inputs, assigning a service request cancellation period based on the one or more service button engagement scoring inputs, determining whether a cancellation request is received within the service request cancellation period, and either cancelling the service request when the cancellation request is received within the service request cancellation period, or transmitting the service request to a service provider when the cancellation request is not received within the service request cancellation period.

System and method for detecting accidental service button keypress

A process and system to detect and provide notification of a potential effect of a thermal event related to a vehicle and a process for updating thermal event probability of a specific area based on an effect of a vehicle are provided. Identifying potential vehicle thermal events and determining their potential effect in order to provide information related to the risk to both vehicle occupants and the proper authorities facilitates providing alerts and possible evacuation routes, and facilitates authorities providing the proper response. A vehicle is identified and information related to the identified vehicle, as well as information related to an area and an existing thermal event, are obtained and probability of a thermal event starting or potential spread of an existing thermal event is determined based on the obtained information and the potential is addressed before a thermal event starts or an existing thermal event spreads.

Detecting thermal event spread probability and alerting vehicles / people in affected area

A computer-implemented method that, when executed by data processing hardware, cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising enabling remote ignition blocking for a first duration, determining a host vehicle status, and modifying the first duration of the remote ignition blocking according to the host vehicle status.

System and method of inhibiting and restoring ignition of a vehicle

A method for controlling a motor vehicle having an electronic control unit (ECU), includes enabling an initial set of vehicle performance limits of the motor vehicle via the ECU in response to a request signal from a computer device. The method includes detecting a current vehicle state of the motor vehicle, including one or more of a location of the motor vehicle, an occupancy state of the motor vehicle, and/or an experience level of a driver thereof, and dynamically adjusting at least one of the performance limits in response to the current vehicle state. A motor vehicle includes one or more road wheels and vehicle components connected to a vehicle body. The ECU includes non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for performing the method.
