An example operation includes one or more of receiving a request into a transport network comprising at least one transport for a proposed use of personal data associated with the at least one transport prior to the at least one transport entering an area; receiving into the transport network a deletion time of the personal data, prior to the at least one transport entering the area; providing, from the transport network an acknowledgement of the deletion time; and providing, from the transport network, the personal data when the at least one transport is in the area based on the received acknowledgement. This enables an occupant of a transport to share personal data relating to the transport with confidence that the data will be deleted by an agreed time.

Connected vehicle services privacy and protection

An example operation includes one or more of downloading an update of a non-volatile electrically erasable memory storage of a vehicle, determining whether the memory storage is arranged in one of a block of bytes of memory and an individual byte of memory, selecting a programming protocol based on the memory storage arrangement and writing the memory storage based on the selected programming protocol.

Robust over the air reprogramming

An example operation includes one or more of determining a sensor on a transport is not functioning properly, determining a severity of the malfunction, responsive to the severity exceeding a threshold, lowering an autonomous level of the transport, and responsive to the severity continuing to exceed the threshold, limiting an operation of the transport based on an intended output of the malfunctioning sensor.

Transport limitations from malfunctioning sensors

An example operation includes one or more of receiving a request for an application from a vehicle; responsive to the request, pushing a version of the application to the vehicle; installing the application when a mode of the vehicle is set to at least one of a testing mode, a development mode, and a service mode; and performing at least one of testing a functionality of the vehicle by the application, validating the application, and modifying the application.

Real-time modifications for vehicles

An example operation includes one or more of determining a first output impedance of a first electronic control unit, determining a second output impedance of a second electronic control unit in response to the first output impedance is outside of a range of a first threshold of the first electronic control unit, and notifying in response to a difference between the second output impedance and a second threshold of the second electronic control unit is less than a further difference between the first output impedance and the first threshold.

Transport component tamper detection based on impedance measurements

When a transport is operating, there may be circumstances where the transport may be at least partially compromised and may be less safe than normal. In such situations where the transport is determined as being unsafe, the transport may act to limit the functionality of the transport. An example operation may include confirming that a transport includes at least one component that is not an original or authorized component, and limiting a functionality of the transport when it is determined that the operator of the transport is not associated with the transport.

Modification of transport functionality based on modified components

An example operation includes one or more of establishing a security level based on an environment of a transport, determining a minimal radio frequency signal strength needed for a device to communicate with the transport based on the security level of the transport, and performing a command, by the transport, based on the communication when the minimal radio frequency signal strength is achieved.

Keyless entry message validation

A mobile music store assembly includes a housing base; a first housing member that is selectively movable relative to the housing base between a first position wherein the mobile music store assembly is in a closed configuration, and a second position wherein the mobile music store assembly is in an open configuration; and a second housing member that is selectively movable relative to the first housing member and the housing base between a first position wherein the mobile music store assembly is in the closed configuration, and a second position wherein the mobile music store assembly is in the open configuration. The mobile music store assembly can further include a music player that is positioned substantially within the housing assembly. The music player is only accessible when the mobile music store assembly is in the open configuration.

A system, method and computer program product for signal emitter identification using Higher-Order Cumulants (HOC) is presented. At least one transient signal is received from an emitter when the emitter turns on. The at least one transient signal is processed using at least one Higher-Order Cumulant (HOC) to provide a set of entries for a vector table. A feature vector is derived from the vector table, the feature vector identifying the emitter. The feature vector is used to identify an emitter.
