Abstract

A method and system for detecting one or more living beings in a vehicle. An indication that the engine is off is received via on on-board diagnostics (OBD) device. Whether a first living being is in the front seat area is determined, and whether a second living being is in the back seat area is determined. In response to a determination that a first living being is not in the front seat area and a second living being is in the back seat area, a first temperature reading for a first temperature inside the vehicle is received and a second temperature reading for a second temperature outside the vehicle is received. A delta between the first temperature and the second temperature is computed. If the delta is less than a first threshold, then an alert is sent via the OBD device to a computing device associated with a user.
