1. A method, comprising:

  • monitoring, with a portable device in communication with one or more computing systems of a vehicle via an on-board diagnostics (“

    OBD2”

    ) data link connector (“

    DLC”

    ) port, wireless communications between at least one vehicle computing system of the one or more computing systems of the vehicle and at least one device external to the vehicle;

    monitoring, with the portable device via the OBD2 DLC port, one or more vehicle sensor data from one or more vehicular sensors tracking operational conditions of the vehicle;

    monitoring, with the portable device via the OBD2 DLC port, one or more operator input sensor data from one or more operator input sensors tracking operator input by an operator of the vehicle;

    analyzing, with the portable device, at least one of the monitored wireless communications between the at least one vehicle computing system and the at least one device external to the vehicle or a combination of the monitored one or more vehicle sensor data and the monitored one or more operator input sensor data, to determine whether vehicle operation has been compromised, wherein analyzing the combination of the monitored one or more vehicle sensor data and the monitored one or more operator input sensor data comprises analyzing, with the portable device, the one or more vehicle sensor data and the one or more operator input sensor data to determine whether the one or more vehicle sensor data indicates operational conditions of the vehicle that are inconsistent with the corresponding one or more operator input sensor data;

    based on a determination that vehicle operation has been compromised, alerting the operator of the vehicle regarding the vehicle operation being compromised, using the portable device via a user interface; and

    initiating, with the portable device, one or more remediation operations.
