1. A vehicle comprising:

  • a computing platform configured with first configuration information;

    an identification module configured to (i) receive from a token identification information for a driver, (ii) selectively enable the computing platform such that the first configuration information is accessible to the driver based on the identification information, (ii) monitor subsequent driving behavior, and (ii) selectively prevent access to the computing platform, if enabled, based on the driving behavior without disabling the vehicle to protect configuration information on the computing platform;

    a communication module configured to, if the computing platform is enabled, establish communications between the computing platform and an off-vehicle information store remote from the token storing second configuration information; and

    an update module configured to update the computing platform with the second configuration information if the second configuration information is different than the first configuration information.
