Fingerprint controls on your steering wheel
This new fingerprint reader for your car beats out the competition on quite a few different levels:
- Better security: It uses vein identification (identifies you by your unique pattern of veins in your finger tip), instead of the conventional fingerprint
- Easier to use: It’s attached to the steering wheel
- Personalized: Once the driver is identified, the car will adjust to that person’s preferred seat position, air conditioning, and stereo settings.
Now that digital fingerprint readers are more and more widespread each day, its nice to see that people are finally using them for other uses that actually have some day to day benefit. This is a perfect example of successfully “re-appropriating” an existing technology to serve a new purpose, and hopefully is the first of many more convenience- based uses for boring old fingerprint readers.
