Abstract
A lock control system includes: an automatic door lock configured to unlock and lock a door of a vehicle; a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly receive a first unique identifier for a period of use of the vehicle by a non-owner of the vehicle from a server that is remote from the vehicle; an input device configured to capture a second unique identifier output by an electronic device through a glass component of the vehicle; and a lock control module configured to: compare the first unique identifier with the second unique identifier; and selectively actuate the automatic door lock thereby unlocking the door in response to a determination that the second unique identifier is the same as the first unique identifier.
