A new study projects that 1 in 3 cars will be using biometrics for identification and personalisation by 2025.The report by Frost and Sullivan states that increased cooperation between car and biometric OEMs is accelerating the process.According to the study, one in three new passenger vehicles will feature one or more biometric features by 2025, such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, gesture recog-nition, heart beat monitoring, brain wave monitoring, stress detection, fatigue monitoring, eyelid monitoring, facial monitoring and pulse detection.These will be driven by built-in, brought-in and cloud-enabled technologies.Brought-in biometrics will play a key role in the future of in-car health, wellness and wellbeing monitoring. Built-in biometric technologies will primarily drive advanced driver-assistance systems and vehicle security, and cloud analytics will generate actionable insights and send notifications during emergencies.Biometrics in vehicles are expected to show a compound annual growth rate of 38.3% up to 2025.The Frost & Sullivan study found that the cars of the future will use biometrics to authenticate an individual, as well as to identify individual behaviour patterns.The data will, for example, be used to automatically adjust the car's seat height, steering position and rearview mirror, as well as play favourite music and retrieve health records. Behaviour pat-terns of multiple users can be stored.Biometrics such as fingerprints, palm vein, facial recognition and heartbeat detection will be used for vehicle security.
