    Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, an electric machine, an electrical port, sensors, and a controller. The battery is configured to store electrical power. The electric machine is configured to receive electrical power from the battery to propel the vehicle. The electrical port is configured to receive an electrical connector of a charging station to initiate a charging operation of the battery. The sensors are configured to monitor an exterior of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to, in response to the sensors detecting an unidentified individual approaching the vehicle, eject the electrical connector from the electrical port or enable full operation of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a peripheral target recognition unit that, based on a detection signal of an object detection sensor, recognizes a target existing around a vehicle; a person determination unit that, when the target is recognized, executes a person determination process of capturing the target with a first camera having a first resolution, and determining whether the target is a person; and a user authentication unit that, when the target is determined to be the person, executes a first user authentication process of capturing a first target person determined to be the person by the person determination unit, with a second camera having a second resolution higher than the first resolution, and collating a face image of the first target person with a face image of a registered user of the vehicle to determine whether the first target person is the registered user.

    Abstract: A multi-alarm device is disclosed that is a specialized vehicle security device designed to work in conjunction with a key fob, home security system, and mobile application. The multi-alarm device comprises a lock component which communicates with the vehicle as well as with multiple control devices, such as a mobile application, a key fob, and a home security system. When the vehicle is tampered with, at least one of the control devices is alerted, and the vehicle locks the transmission, doors, steering, wheels, and brakes. Further, the vehicle's horn sounds and the internal and external lights blink. The windshield wipers also turn on to draw attention and impair visibility. The vehicle may also play a pre-recorded song to draw attention.
