A second user is permitted to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user. Then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, a user status of the second user is determined via second biometric data. The user status is one of authorized or not authorized. The object components are controlled based on the user status of the second user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor programmed to: upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, control object components based on user data for the first user; permit a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user; then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determine a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized; control the object components based on the user status of the second user; and upon determining that the second user is not authorized, provide, to a remote computer, a current location of the object and a location of the object when the second user accessed to the object. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining the delay parameter is not satisfied, control the object components based on temporary user data. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the second user is not authorized, stop controlling the object components based on the temporary user data. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the second user is authorized, control the object components based on user data for the second user. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the second user is not authorized, prevent operation of the object components. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the second user is not authorized, control the object components based on unauthorized user data. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon detecting the first user after determining the delay parameter is satisfied, control the object components based on the user data for the first user when the user status for the second user is not authorized. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that the delay parameter is satisfied based on expiration of a timer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that the delay parameter is satisfied based on determining a distance from a current location of the object to a location of the object when the second user was permitted access to the object exceeds a threshold. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon detecting the presence of the second user after the predetermined time, ignore the delay parameter and determine the user status of the second user via the second biometric data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the instructions further include instructions to, upon determining that the user status for the second user is authorized, permit the second user to access the object. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions further include instructions to control the object components based on user data for the second user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that the first user is authorized based on a confidence score for the first biometric data being greater than or equal to a confidence threshold. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that the second user is authorized based on a confidence score for the second biometric data being greater than or equal to a confidence threshold. ### Claim 15 A method, comprising: upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, controlling object components based on user data for the first user; permitting a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user; then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determining a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized; controlling the object components based on the user status of the second user; and upon determining the delay parameter is not satisfied, controlling the object components based on temporary user data. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising, upon determining that the second user is not authorized, stopping control of the object components based on the temporary user data. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising determining that the delay parameter is satisfied based on expiration of a timer. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising determining that the delay parameter is satisfied based on determining a distance from a current location of the object to a location of the object when the second user was permitted access to the object exceeds a threshold. ### Claim 19 A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor programmed to: upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, control object components based on user data for the first user; permit a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user; then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determine a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized; control the object components based on the user status of the second user; upon detecting the first user after determining the delay parameter is satisfied, control the object components based on the user data for the first user when the user status for the second user is not authorized. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The system of claim 19, wherein the instructions further include instructions to determine that the delay parameter is satisfied based on determining a distance from a current location of the object to a location of the object when the second user was permitted access to the object exceeds a threshold.
