Speed Limiting Vehicle Key Fob System
First Claim
1. A vehicle speed limiting system, comprising:
- a vehicle system adapted to be installed on a vehicle, said vehicle system comprising;
a processing means;
a memory;
a vehicle speed sensor;
a vehicle speed governing means;
at least one programmable ignition key;
each programmable ignition key further comprising a programmable chip and a memory adapted to store a preprogrammed speed buffer, a battery power supply, and an electronic identification of said programmable ignition key as a master ignition key or a slave ignition key;
each programmable ignition key further comprising a communication means for communicating said preprogrammed speed buffer and said electronic identification to said vehicle system;
wherein each programmable ignition key is programmable as a master ignition key or a slave ignition key;
wherein each programmable ignition key when programmed as a slave ignition key is configured to communicate said preprogrammed speed buffer and said electronic identification to said vehicle system;
each programmable ignition key further comprising a navigation system adapted to determine its location and a local speed limit at said location.

Abstract
Provided is a preprogrammed key fob system that allows a user to limit a vehicle top speed while the given key fob is being used to operate the vehicle. The system comprises a vehicle system and a navigation system, wherein the navigation system is disposed within the key fobs and the key fob is adapted to communicate with the vehicle system while in use. The navigation system of each key is utilized to capture the local speed limit of a given road, while a vehicle speed is programmed into the specific key to set a vehicle speed buffer above the local speed limit being traveled. The system therefore limits the user of a given key to a preset limit, which adapts in real-time based on the local speed limits and allows the owner of the keys to set the limits and to monitor the vehicle conditions using the system.
