Every vehicle on the road today carries a hidden vulnerability: driver access is still built on assumptions, not intelligence.

Whether it’s a key fob, a steering wheel button, a mobile app, or a biometric system, most driver-entry and ignition processes depend on trusting the input — not verifying who is actually behind the wheel, what condition they are in, or whether the interaction is legitimate.

Invisible Foundry set out to change that. Through a suite of issued and pending patents, we are building a secure, modular, and intelligent layer that sits between a vehicle’s controls and its core decision-making systems, enabling unprecedented protection, insight, and flexibility.

The Problem: Vehicles Trust the Wrong Things

Modern vehicles rely on:

• Unverified sensor signals
• Simple button presses
• Open communication lines
• Assumptions about who the user is

These systems can be spoofed, bypassed, or used by impaired or unauthorized individuals — putting lives, property, and insurance liability at risk. As vehicles become more digital, electric, and autonomous, this problem intensifies. We need a secure, tamper-resistant way to determine:

• Who should be allowed to drive
• Under what conditions
• Which features should be unlocked or restricted
• How risk is detected in real time

Invisible Foundry’s patented control-layer architecture answers this directly.

Our Solution: A Patented Driver-Access Control Layer

At the heart of our vehicle patents is a simple but powerfulinnovation: A device that sits between vehicle controls and the ECU —validating, blocking, or modifying commands based on safety, identity, orsecurity rules.

This layer can:

• Permit or deny ignition
• Throttle or limit certain features
• Block a steering wheel button press
• Override a data-line command
• Detect impairment-related patterns
• Provide tiered access for different drivers
• Integrate with mobile apps, AI models, or cloud systems

It is the first patented architecture designed specifically to manage:

✔ Driver identity

✔ Driver condition

✔ Allowed vehicle capabilities

✔ Real-time risk

All without modifying the vehicle’s OEM systems.

Impaired-Driver Deterrence: A Breakthrough for Safety

One of Invisible Foundry’s most critical patent families introduces a non-invasive technology to prevent impaired individuals from operating a vehicle. Unlike breathalyzers or external interlock devices, this solution:

• Requires no new sensors
• No physical testing from the driver
• No embarrassing installations
• No interaction with the ignition switch

Instead, it uses the behavior of the driver’s interactions with the vehicle — the natural patterns of touch, timing, pressure, and sequence — to determine whether the person behind the wheel is in a safe state to operate the vehicle.

If unsafe conditions are detected:

• The system blocks or delays ignition
• Restricts specific functions
• Sends alerts to authorized parties
• Activates “safe mode” for limited mobility

This is impairment detection without friction, designed for the real world.

Smart Access Management: Multiple Drivers, One Vehicle

Our patented control layer enables tiered access, perfectly suited for:

• Fleet operators
• Car-sharing and rental services
• Teen drivers
• Corporate vehicles
• High-risk environments
• Insurance-linked access programs

Examples include:

✔ Parents limiting acceleration or late-night driving for teens

✔ Fleet companies enforcing safety check-ins before ignition

✔ Rental agencies preventing unauthorized add-on drivers

✔ Insurance companies rewarding low-risk behavior with lower premiums

This is vehicle access designed for the next generation of mobility.

Why This Matters for the Future of Transportation

The world is moving toward:

• Connected vehicles
• Semi-autonomous and autonomous systems
• Usage-based insurance
• Shared mobility
• AI-assisted safety monitoring
• Vehicle-as-a-service (VaaS) models

Invisible Foundry’s patents become the control logic for this future — the layer that decides: Who can drive, when they can drive, how they can drive, and what the vehicle will allow. It is a foundational technology, enabling trust and security in next-generation mobility systems.

A Platform for Automakers, Insurers, Fleets, and Mobility Innovators

Our technology is positioned to support:

Automotive OEMs

Integrate smarter, safer driver-access logic without redesigning internal electronics.

Insurance Providers

Deploy risk-based incentives and impairment detection tieddirectly to premiums.

Fleet Management Platforms

Ensure authorized drivers follow policy before a vehicle moves.

Car-Sharing & Subscription Services

Authenticate drivers on every ride — without friction.

Safety Regulators

Leverage non-invasive impairment detection as a public-safety standard.

Invisible Foundry’s Mission in Vehicles & Mobility

We are creating a world where:

• Vehicles don’t just move — they make decisions.
• Drivers aren’t just identified — they’re evaluated for safety.
• Access isn’t assumed — it’s verified.
• Safety isn’t optional — it is embedded.

Our patented vehicle technologies are part of a broader vision: to protect people, property, and communities by making transportation systems smarter, safer, and more secure.
