Updating vehicle ownership authorizations

Abstract

A method of updating vehicle ownership authorizations in a vehicular system and such a system that includes a memory unit and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit monitors data, provisioned by one or more vehicle sensory systems, related to a vehicle user and to at least one of vehicle access keys, vehicle parking position and further vehicle occupants, evaluates the monitored data, for determining if a vehicle user is unknown and upon determination that the vehicle user is unknown further evaluates the monitored data, for determining an indication of change of vehicle ownership, using data previously registered with the memory unit of the system related to at least one of vehicle access keys, vehicle parking positions, vehicle users and further vehicle occupants. In response to a determined indication of change of vehicle ownership and optional verification thereof, vehicle ownership authorizations are updated in the memory unit.
