2017 CES preview: biometric applications in cars

In the blink of an eye, 2016 will soon become a thing of the past. The 2017 CES Electronics Show will be held in Las Vegas from January 5 to January 7. In addition to traditional electronic devices, automotive electronics are also attracting much attention. Continental, a major supplier to the global automotive industry, plans to showcase their models with advanced biometric technology, including fingerprint start-up systems, at the 2017 CES.

Car fingerprint recognition system

Continental is a German auto parts supplier. In addition to conventional auto parts, they have extended their technology to the electronics field in today's highly intelligent automobiles. The start-up system will be a new direction for the development of future automobiles. The introduction of the fingerprint start-up system by Continental at this time will further enhance the intelligence of the start-up system and open up new possibilities for automobile personalization and identification.

As for adding fingerprint function to cars, the senior executives of Continental are confident about the prospects. They said that biometric components will give users a more comfortable riding experience when using the car; at the same time, the safety performance of the car will be improved. Cars that introduce biometrics not only require a key to start, but also will perform fingerprint and face recognition after the driver enters the car, thereby improving the vehicle's anti-theft performance.

In addition, Continental's smart glass has also begun to enter the actual installation stage. The smart glass will gradually darken according to the owner's adjustment, and can also automatically brighten when the owner approaches the car. It would be even better if the glass could adjust the brightness according to the light outside the car while driving.

The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is hosted by the American Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association and held in the world-famous Las Vegas every January. CES is the world's largest and most influential annual consumer electronics technology exhibition, and also the world's largest consumer technology event.
