Toyota already implements "eco-conditioning" in their Prius when it is in Eco mode. It does things like cycle the AC on when braking and under heavier loads when the engine is near its peak BSFC.

You can't just declare rights to an idea, you have to file a patent application which looks to see if there are any similar ideas already patented.

It's probably not in the consumers best interest to have any logs that track driving behavior such as speeding, since those records can be subpoenaed by the court. If you were ever involved in an accident, blame would fall on the person the court can prove was breaking the law, not matter how insignificant the infraction was. 1 MPH over the limit; you're at fault.
