Vehicle Safety Technology (VST) is a term used by the automotive industry applied to technologies focused on ensuring safety and security of automobiles and passengers. Although the category creates a broad umbrella to which many auto-related aspects may apply, VST most typically refers to car-to-computer communication devices which utilize GPS tracking features, geofencing capabilities, remote speed sensing, theft deterrent, and service alerts.

A handful of devices currently fall into this category, most notably SkyTel's SkyGuard [1] VST system.
