Abstract
Techniques are described for determining an occurrence of theft in a vehicle. An example processor implemented method comprises receiving, by a computer located in an autonomous vehicle and at a first time, a first torque value that indicates a first amount of torque applied by an engine of the autonomous vehicle to drive the autonomous vehicle, receiving, at a second time that is later in time than the first time, a second torque value that indicates a second amount of torque applied by the engine of the autonomous vehicle, determining that a difference between a first value and a second value is greater than a pre-determined value, where the first value and the second value are functions of at least the first torque value and at least the second value respectively, and displaying, in response to the determining, a message that indicates a theft detection in the autonomous vehicle.
