Auto manufacturers are working with a company called Eyelock to put 'Myris' iris scanners in new cars. Click here to view the Myris Eyelock video.
According to Biometricupdate.com, Eyelock's iris authentication process takes less than five seconds to complete.
“This technology brings an entirely new level of security, personalization, and connectivity to the automotive space,” said Anthony Antolino, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer for EyeLock LLC. “We continue to work with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to accelerate the adoption of EyeLock technology in a wide range of vehicles.”
Antolino, says the company is under contract with multiple OEM and tier-one companies to provide this equipment but refused to identify them.
Eyelock only allows authenticated drivers behind the wheel, which means insurance companies will be drooling at the mouths to profit from this invasive technology...
“We all know that once you have a 16-year-old driver, your insurance premiums go through the roof, but what if that young child is a really responsible driver? There’s no reason that household shouldn’t benefit from preferential premiums. It really does start with specifically knowing who’s in the driver’s seat, and that’s not possible with any other body part” Antolino said.
In Sept. of last year, I warned everyone that auto insurance companies and car dealerships were spying on motorists.
Allstate Insurance wants cameras to spy on other drivers and identify any distractions:
"Allstate's Traffic-Based Driving Analysis patent uses sensors and cameras to record potential sources of driver distractions inside your car like a cell phone, pets or unsecured objects in vehicle."
"It'll also spy on the number and types of passengers inside the car."
Texas Instruments (TI) is also working on automotive iris scanners click here & here to find out more.
A new speech recognition system called Dragon Drive developed by Nuance Communications will soon be in new cars everywhere.
If automakers have their way, new cars will also come equipped with touch fingerprint sensor technology
Fingerprint Cards (FPC) a Swedish company, claims they'll make close to a billion in 2016 from their touch fingerprint sensor technology.
"FPC, a global leading supplier of fingerprint sensor technology, provides its market leading technology to the automotive market. During 2015 FPC has together with other industry leaders developed solutions to enable the use of FPC’s touch fingerprint sensor technology for automotive applications." "These solutions have been evaluated by leading global car makers and other companies in the automotive industry, and as a result FPC’s touch fingerprint sensor module FPC1025 has been selected for further development and integration into commercial applications for the automotive industry."
Ford wants new cars to spy on motorist's health
Ford's research & innovation lab wants wearable apps that monitor (spy on) a drivers health.
“Wearable technology integrated with the vehicle allows for more accurate biometric data to stream continuously and alert active driver-assist systems to become more sensitive if the driver shows signs of compromised health or awareness” Gary Strumolo, global manager for vehicle design and infotronics at Ford Research and Advanced Engineering said.
The surveillance car of the future will measure things like, your wakefulness, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and heart rate!
"The semi-autonomous driving features can also be further benefited through the ability to measure wakefulness and health data including blood pressure, blood glucose and heart rate via wearable technology."
“The potential in this space is endless,” added Strumolo. “We’re evaluating many different wearable devices and applications – everything from helping to keep Ford drivers healthier and more aware behind the wheel to offering an enhanced customer experience at our dealerships.”
Soon your car won't start until its scanned your iris, fingerprints and voice. It's Big Brother's fantasy come to life. In the near future, DHS/Police can get rid of highway and intersection surveillance cameras, since tomorrow's new cars will be rolling surveillance platforms.
Things are worse than you can imagine. DHS/Police are using a new infrared license plate scanning system because criminals drive cars! For more info. about how things are getting worse read, the Feds want speed limiters and surveillance devices installed in every car, truck and bus.
The future of driving in a free America is grim. How hard would it be for a cop to access your car's computer or ask the auto dealer to hand over your biometrics?
