detection means include use of accelerometers to detect sudden deceleration or change of direction use of an air bag deployment sensor to detect air bag deployment use of a door open sensor to detect that a door is open while the car is moving detection of a sleeping driver by analyzing digital images captured using the interior view camera 212 or some other form of sleeping driver detector or detection that the motor vehicle has left the roadway for example by analyzing digital images captured with the forward looking camera 211 or by gps information in cases where the motor vehicle is used with a trailed object such as a boat trailer or a camping trailer digital images from the rear view camera 213 can be automatically analyzed to detect if the trailed object becomes disengaged or is weaving dangerously and an exception event can be triggered as appropriate in some embodiments signals from a plurality of sensing means can be processed to increase the reliability of correctly detecting exception events for example detection of an apparently sleeping driver can be combined with detection that the motor vehicle has left the roadway in the case of general unauthorized use detection of an unauthorized mode of operation even can be triggered by detecting that the motor vehicle is traveling at an excessive speed detecting operation of the motor vehicle at an unauthorized time of day or at an unauthorized location detecting that the motor vehicle is being driven by an unauthorized person for example by using face recognition to analyze digital images captured using the interior view camera 212 or detecting that the motor.
