    Abstract: A vehicle window control panel for controlling a plurality of vehicle window assemblies comprises a common window control switch and a plurality of selector interfaces. The common window control switch is configured for controlling operation of a window assembly when the window assembly occupies an active state. The plurality of selector interfaces is electrically coupled to the common window control switch, and each of the plurality of selector interfaces is associated with an associated window assembly and configured for selectively coupling the associated window assembly to the common window control switch so as to cause the associated window assembly to occupy an active state. Each of the plurality of selector interfaces is also configured for selectively decoupling the associated window assembly from the common window control switch so as to cause the associated window assembly to occupy an inactive state.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for authorizing operation of an electric vehicle that is being charged at a charging station. A computer can determine whether predefined criteria relating to the electric vehicle have been satisfied, and, if so, communicates a virtual key to the electric vehicle. The virtual key allows the electric vehicle to be operated in a limited operating mode that defines constraints on operating the vehicle. The virtual key allows the electric vehicle to be operated in the limited operating mode without a physical key or fob being present at the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes a processor configured to receive the virtual key and to control operation of the electric vehicle according to the constraints defined by the virtual key.
