The system may also include a processor in communication with the transceiver and programmed to receive data from the communication device indicating a location of the vehicle and data indicating that the vehicle departed prior to a threshold departure time, wherein the threshold departure time is determined in part by data received indicating a category of a point of interest (POI) associated with a location of the vehicle, and send a notification to a mobile device associated with the vehicle when the data indicating that vehicle departed is prior to the threshold departure time.

Anti-theft system by location prediction based on heuristics and learning

A vehicle includes a plurality of wheels. A vehicle steering controller controls a heading of the vehicle by controlling at least one of the plurality of wheels. A heading sensor detects the heading of the vehicle. A processor is coupled to the vehicle steering controller and the heading sensor, and the processor is programmed to receive a lane change signal that requests a lane change. Then, the processor determines the heading of the vehicle from the heading sensor. Based on this determination, the processor instructs the vehicle steering controller to reduce the heading of the vehicle to prior to executing the requested lane change. As a result, the lane change may be executed from a similar state each time.
