Technology Overview

The system described in the provisional patent application utilizes a device that connects to the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD II) port, interfacing with a cloud-based service. It employs persistent compute objects, or picos, which autonomously manage and securely store vehicle data, facilitating real-time communication with certifying organizations and regulatory bodies. This innovative approach aims to streamline the vehicle inspection process by providing continuous monitoring of a vehicle's emissions and safety status, thereby offering a more convenient and efficient alternative to traditional annual inspections.


Key Advantages

  • Enables continuous monitoring of vehicle emissions and safety status
  • Streamlines compliance with state emissions and safety regulations
  • Provides a secure and autonomous system for data management and communication
