Abstract: A smoke detection system for an interior of a vehicle is provided. The smoke detection system includes a detection module and a reporting module. The detection module, while the vehicle is being used as part of a car sharing or ride sharing service: receives a sensor signal from a smoke detector; compares data included in the sensor signal to smoke characteristic or smoke pattern data; based on the comparison, determines whether an occupant of the vehicle is smoking; and generates an alert signal if the occupant is smoking. The reporting module at least one of: based on the alert signal, visually or audibly provides a warning to the occupant to stop smoking; transmits the alert signal to a mobile device of the occupant to indicate that a smoking event has been detected; or transmits the alert signal to a network device of a service provider to report the smoking event.

Abstract: A plug-in vehicle electronics module for use in vehicle sharing systems, and a method and system for using the vehicle electronics module. The vehicle electronics module includes an on-board diagnostic (OBD) connector and a housing that contains: a short-range wireless communication (SRWC) circuit; a microcontroller; and memory communicatively coupled to the microcontroller, wherein the memory stores a computer program; wherein the vehicle electronics module is connectable by the OBD connector to an OBD port on a vehicle; and wherein, when the vehicle electronics module is connected to the OBD port, the microcontroller operates under control of the computer program to cause the vehicle electronics module to: establish a short-range wireless communication (SRWC) connection with a personal SRWC device using the SRWC circuit; authenticate the personal SRWC device in response to receiving authentication information over the established SRWC connection; and in response to the successful authentication, provide access to the vehicle.
