Methods, systems, and media for controlling access to vehicle features

1. A method for controlling access to vehicle features, comprising:

determining identifying information of a driver of a vehicle;

receiving an indication that the driver wants to activate a feature of the vehicle;

determining, using a hardware processor associated with the vehicle, whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information;

in response to determining that the driver is not qualified to activate the feature, inhibiting activation of the feature and causing a user interface to be presented that indicates that the feature cannot be used; and

in response to determining that the driver is qualified to activate the feature, activating the feature;

wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature comprises determining whether the feature has been changed since a previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature, and wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used further indicates a change to the feature in response to determining that the feature has been changed since the previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information comprises presenting one or more qualifying queries to the driver of the vehicle via the user interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feature allows the hardware processor to control steering of the vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining identifying information of the driver of the vehicle is based on at least one of facial recognition of the driver of the vehicle, a key fob used to access the vehicle, and user login information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used includes a selectable input that, when selected, causes presentation of information related to the feature to be initiated.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presentation of information related to the feature comprises information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is stationary and information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is in motion and while the feature is activated.

7. A system for controlling access to vehicle features, the system comprising:

a hardware processor that is programmed to:

determine identifying information of a driver of a vehicle;

receive an indication that the driver wants to activate a feature of the vehicle;

determine whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information;

in response to determining that the driver is not qualified to activate the feature, inhibit activation of the feature and cause a user interface to be presented that indicates that the feature cannot be used; and

in response to determining that the driver is qualified to activate the feature, activate the feature;

wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature comprises determining whether the feature has been changed since a previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature, and wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used further indicates a change to the feature in response to determining that the feature has been changed since the previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information comprises presenting one or more qualifying queries to the driver of the vehicle via the user interface.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the feature allows the hardware processor to control steering of the vehicle.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein determining identifying information of the driver of the vehicle is based on at least one of facial recognition of the driver of the vehicle, a key fob used to access the vehicle, and user login information.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used includes a selectable input that, when selected, causes presentation of information related to the feature to be initiated.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the presentation of information related to the feature comprises information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is stationary and information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is in motion and while the feature is activated.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling access to vehicle features, the method comprising:

determining identifying information of a driver of a vehicle;

receiving an indication that the driver wants to activate a feature of the vehicle;

determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information;

in response to determining that the driver is not qualified to activate the feature, inhibiting activation of the feature and causing a user interface to be presented that indicates that the feature cannot be used; and

in response to determining that the driver is qualified to activate the feature, activating the feature;

wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature comprises determining whether the feature has been changed since a previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature, and wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used further indicates a change to the feature in response to determining that the feature has been changed since the previous time the driver was indicated as qualified to activate the feature.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein determining whether the driver is qualified to activate the feature based on the identifying information comprises presenting one or more qualifying queries to the driver of the vehicle via the user interface.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the feature allows the processor to control steering of the vehicle.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein determining identifying information of the driver of the vehicle is based on at least one of facial recognition of the driver of the vehicle, a key fob used to access the vehicle, and user login information.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the user interface that indicates that the feature cannot be used includes a selectable input that, when selected, causes presentation of information related to the feature to be initiated.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the presentation of information related to the feature comprises information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is stationary and information related to the feature that is presented while the vehicle is in motion and while the feature is activated.
