A credential-based vehicle interlock system for preventing unauthorized driving of a land vehicle even when the vehicle is left parked with its engine running. The subject system interacts, inter alia, with the existing sensors and electronic control module of the vehicle to prevent the transmission from shifting out of the "Park" gear, unless and until the credentials of the driver are validated against a database of credentials for authorized drivers. The system can be optionally configured to initiate and execute a controlled shutdown sequence of a moving land vehicle, upon receiving a wireless remote shutdown command. |
