Sensor-based pairing between device and vehicle
A vehicle includes a wireless transceiver, configured to communicate with a mobile device; a vehicle sensor, configured provide vehicle motion data; and one or more processors, configured to responsive to receiving an authentication request from the mobile device, send a request for a device motion fingerprint for a first timeframe to the mobile device, receive the device motion fingerprint from the mobile device, generate a vehicle motion fingerprint for the first timeframe using the vehicle motion data, responsive to a driving maneuver input intensity being greater than an input threshold, compare the vehicle motion fingerprint with the device motion fingerprint to generate a similarity score, and responsive to the similarity score being indicative of at least a predefined threshold level of similarity between the vehicle motion fingerprint and the device motion fingerprint, authenticate a wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle via the wireless transceiver.
