A method of locking and unlocking a vehicle sub-compartment comprising:

• determining that a first condition has occurred;
• and
• sending, based at least in part on determining that the first condition has occurred, a lock signal to a lock mechanism, wherein the lock signal is capable of causing the lock mechanism to
• transition to a locked state, and the locked state of the lock mechanism is capable of preventing a door to a sub-compartment within the vehicle compartment from being opened;
• determining that a second condition has occurred;
• and
• sending, based at least in part on determining that the second condition has occurred, an unlock signal to the lock mechanism of the door to the sub-compartment,
• wherein the unlock signal is capable of causing the lock mechanism to transition to an unlocked state, and the unlocked state of the lock mechanism is capable of enabling the door to be opened to access the sub-compartment.

A vehicle locking system comprising:

• one or more sub-compartments within a vehicle, wherein each sub-compartment further comprises a door to access the sub-compartment and a lock mechanism for locking and unlocking the door;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory storage media to store instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• determining that a first condition has occurred;
• and
• sending, based at least in part on determining that the first condition has occurred, a lock signal to the lock mechanism, wherein the lock signal is capable of causing the lock mechanism to transition to a locked state, and the locked state of the lock mechanism is capable of preventing the door from being opened;
• wherein the one or more sub-compartments comprises a console between driver's seat and a front passenger seat.
