Systems, methods, and media for route control of a vehicle

摘要

Systems, methods and media for programming a vehicle ignition key with route information are disclosed. More particularly, hardware and software are disclosed for obtaining map data from a map data source; deriving route information from the map data; and transferring the route information to a vehicle ignition key. When the driver starts the vehicle with the ignition key, the ignition key transfers the route information stored on it to a receiver in the vehicle. The route information is used to prevent the vehicle from traveling away from an authorized route or outside a specified area.
