Abstract
Disclosed embodiments include systems, vehicles, and computer-implemented methods for selectively restricting a performance attribute of a vehicle for an operator or group of operators. In an illustrative embodiment, a computing device includes a processor and computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to: identify an operating credential associated with an operator of a vehicle; determine a performance mode associated with the operating credential; and restrict at least one performance attribute of the vehicle in accordance with the performance mode.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a computing device including:
- a processor;
- and
- computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to:
- identify an operating credential associated with an operator of a vehicle;
- determine a performance mode associated with the operating credential;
- and
- restrict at least one performance attribute of the vehicle in accordance with the performance mode.
A vehicle comprising:
- a cabin;
- a drive system;
- and
- a computing device including:
- a processor;
- and
- computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to:
- identify an operating credential associated with an operator of a vehicle;
- determine a performance mode associated with the operating credential;
- and
- restrict at least one performance attribute of the vehicle in accordance with the performance mode.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying an operating credential associated with an operator of a vehicle;
- determining a performance mode associated with the operating credential;
- and
- restricting at least one performance attribute of the vehicle chosen from acceleration and speed in accordance with the performance mode.
