6. A vehicle comprising:
a compartment, wherein the compartment comprises a sub-compartment;
a communication bus;
a vehicle locking system connected to the communication bus;
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory storage media to store instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining that a first condition has occurred; and
sending via the communication bus, based at least in part on determining that the first condition has occurred, a lock signal to a lock mechanism of a door to the sub-compartment,
wherein the lock signal is capable of causing the lock mechanism to transition to a locked state, and the locked state of the lock mechanism is capable of preventing the door from being opened to access the sub-compartment,
the operations further comprising:
determining that a second condition has occurred;
determining, based at least in part on determining that the second condition has occurred, whether an override function associated with the sub-compartment has been set;
sending, based at least in part on determining that the override function has not been set, an unlock signal to the lock mechanism of the door to the sub-compartment; and
not sending, based at least in part on determining that the override function has been set, the unlock signal to the lock mechanism of the door to the sub-compartment.
