Abstract
A vehicle configured to operate in a remote access mode is disclosed. In some examples, a camera at the exterior of the vehicle can capture one or more images of its surroundings, including the face of a person attempting to access the vehicle. A primary operator (e.g., owner or lessee) of the vehicle can receive the one or more images at a mobile device and send an input, via a user interface of the mobile device, to grant or deny access to the vehicle. In response to wirelessly receiving the input to allow access, the vehicle can be unlocked and started in the remote access mode. In some examples, the remote access mode can have a set of permissions and/or restrictions associated therewith.
