1. An electronic device, comprising:
circuitry that:
receives, via a user device, a request to access a software application associated with a vehicle that is in a first operational state;
transmits, to the user device, first information that causes the user device to render one or more action items associated with the request;
after the transmission of the first information, detects an event that is associated with a change in an operational state of the vehicle from the first operational state to a second operational state, wherein the event results from a user-initiated physical operation at the vehicle;
verifies the request only if the event is detected after the request and before the vehicle enters the second operational state; and
transmits, to the user device, second information that confirms the verification of the request.
