1. A system comprising:

  • a non-transitory memory; and

    one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;

    detecting that a first computing device is within a threshold distance of a vehicle using short range wireless communications with the first computing device;

    in response to detecting that the first computing device is within the threshold distance of the vehicle, determining whether one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with the first computing device;

    in response to determining that the one or more vehicle use restrictions are associated with the first computing device, applying the one or more vehicle use restrictions to an onboard computing device of the vehicle;

    detecting a use of the onboard computing device of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle;

    in response to determining that a second computing device associated with the vehicle is outside of the threshold distance for the short range wireless communications, communicating a notification of the use to the second computing device over a network connection with the second computing device;

    receiving a change to the one or more vehicle use restrictions from the second computing device over the network connection during the operation of the vehicle; and

    applying, by the system, the change on the one or more vehicle use restrictions with the onboard computing device during the operation of the vehicle.
