1. An information processing system for implementing a restricted-operation region, the information processing system comprising:

  • a memory;

    a first processor device communicatively coupled to the memory;

    a computer program instruction development module communicatively coupled to the memory and the first processor device, wherein the computer program instruction development module is configured to develop a set of computer readable program instructions configured such that, based at least in part on being downloaded by a second processor device of a vehicle, the set of computer readable program instructions modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor device of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement an operation policy of the restricted-operation region by controlling at least one function of the vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle attempting to operate within the restricted-operation region;

    wherein the second processor device of the vehicle cannot interpret the control instructions and process the data without having downloaded the set of computer readable program instructions; and

    a first transmitter device configured to transmit said set of computer readable program instructions to said vehicle;

    wherein said set of computer readable program instructions are further configured to, based at least in part on a determination that the vehicle is attempting to operate within the restricted operation region, be downloaded by the second processor of the vehicle to modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor device of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement the operation policy of the restricted-operation region.
