Abstract: A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to detect a roadside device via at least one vehicle sensor of a plurality of vehicle sensors; determine a location of a vehicle based on a fixed location of the roadside device; determine a location correction adjustment, wherein the location correction adjustment comprises a difference between an assumed location of the vehicle and the determined location of the vehicle, wherein the assumed location is obtained from a navigation system of the vehicle; and adjust the assumed location based on the location correction adjustment.

Abstract: A Phone-as-a-Key (PaaK) system includes a pre-processor, a secure processor disposed in communication with the pre-processor, a cache memory associated with the pre-processor and the secure processor, and a memory for storing executable instructions. The pre-processor and the secured processor are configured to perform steps that can mitigate delay caused by mobile device authentication. For example, the pre-processor authenticates an authentication message associated with a mobile device used as a key for the vehicle, and stores the message in the cache memory. The pre-processor receives a door latch actuation signal, and initializes the secure processor in response. The pre-processor then provides access to the vehicle based on the secure processor initialization instruction, and the authentication message stored in the cache memory. After initialization, the secure processor sends a challenge value for second authorization of the mobile device, and triggers remedial actions if the device fails to respond correctly.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes predicting, via a predictive analytical model, a time interval associated with a future key-on event for a vehicle. The predictive analytical model is based at least in part on key-on event data. The method includes generating, based at least in part on the predicted time interval, a power mode instruction configured to cause a vehicle Telematics Control Unit (TCU) or Phone as a Key (PaaK) system to change a TCU state from a low energy state to a higher energy state, and transmitting, based on the predicted time interval, the power mode instruction to the vehicle TCU.

Abstract: Enhancing operation of powered tools is provided. Access permissions for tools and access devices are stored to in vehicle memory. Presence of a tool within proximity to the vehicle is detected. Presence of access devices configured to provide access to the vehicle are detected utilizing passive access functionality of the vehicle. Access to an auxiliary power source of the vehicle is allowed for powering the tool responsive to the access permissions granting access due to the presence of the access devices.

Abstract: As a computing device travels on a trip from a starting location to a destination location, geographic coordinates are captured and stored. The geographic coordinates are tested against an obscuring condition to determine a portion of the geographic coordinates that satisfy the obscuring condition. Based on the determined portion of geographic coordinates satisfying the obscuring condition, altering the geographic coordinates in the determined portion of the geographic coordinates to reduce their precision or accuracy. The computing device transmits the altered geographic coordinates and the geographic coordinates that did not satisfy the obscuring condition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aspects of authenticating a mobile device and providing a vehicle access key thereto when a previously registered mobile device is not accessible. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes requesting at a first mobile device, access to a profile associated with controlling operations of a vehicle, the profile having stored thereon an access key for operating the vehicle, the access key having been previously installed on a second mobile device. The method further includes upon successful authorization, receiving the access key at the first device and operating the vehicle using the access key on the first mobile device.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to send a nonce encrypted according to a symmetric encryption key. The nonce is sent responsive to receiving a pair request over a personal area network from a nomadic device outside the vehicle. The controller is further configured to initialize a secure connection using a random key and permit vehicle access according to data received via the secure connection. The initialization is responsive to receiving a concatenation of the random key and an incrementation of the nonce encrypted with the symmetric encryption key.

Abstract: A method to facilitate secure communication between a first tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a vehicle is disclosed. The method may include obtaining a trigger signal to auto-locate the first TPMS from a plurality of TPMSs. The method may further include obtaining learning mode advertisements from each TPMS responsive to obtaining the trigger signal. The learning mode advertisements may include a random value and a test value associated with each TPMS. The test value may be an encrypted value generated using TPMS keys. The method may further include calculating a vehicle test value using the random value and a vehicle pre-shared key, and comparing the test value with the vehicle test value. The method may further include auto-locating the first TPMS based on the comparison. The method may include receiving vehicle tire condition data from the first TPMS responsive to auto-locating the first TPMS.
