Ford’s Global Technologies division has developed a system to bring advanced biometrics to future vehicles, according to a report by Patently Apple.
Compatible with Apple’s iOS, as well as other mobile systems, the biometric system would be applied to the steering wheel of future Ford vehicles as an authentication device that identifies the driver.
The system, which works in association with Apple’s Touch ID technology, ensures that the vehicle would only start if the fingerprint applied to the device matches that of the owner or owners.
