A system for enabling a user to start a vehicle has a SmartFuse with a terminal coupled to vehicle battery voltage and a terminal coupled to a vehicle element to be powered to start the vehicle. The SmartFuse has a microprocessor, a first data repository, a normally open electrical contact in a conductor connected in series with a fuse filament, and first wireless communication circuitry. A smartphone executing a mobile application stores a list of identities of drivers authorized to operate the vehicle. A candidate driver identifies to the mobile application which determines if the candidate driver is on the list. If so, the smartphone signals the first microprocessor in the SmartFuse to close the normally open electrical contact in the SmartFuse, enabling the vehicle to be started.
