VEHICLE_IN_USE

Whether the vehicle is currently in use.

<p>In-use means a human user is present and is intended to use the vehicle. This doesn't necessarily means the human user is in the vehicle. For example, if the human user unlocks the vehicle remotely, the vehicle is considered in use.

<p>If this property is supported:

<p>Each time user powers on the vehicle or the system detects the user is present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to true. Each time user powers off the vehicle or the system detects the user is not present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to false.

<p>This property is different than AP_POWER_BOOTUP_REASON in the sense that AP_POWER_BOOTUP_REASON is only set once during the system bootup. However, this property might change multiple times during a system bootup cycle.

<p>For example, a device is currently not in use. The system bootup to execute a remote task. VEHICLE_IN_USE is false. While the remote task is executing, the user enters the vehicle and powers on the vehicle. VEHICLE_IN_USE is set to true. After a driving session, user powers off the vehicle, VEHICLE_IN_USE is set to false.

<p>This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.
