Systems and methods for driver authentication through embedded sensing

This invention describes a way for a car to identify who is inside using its built-in sensors, which might detect things like a person's unique biometric features or how they move. Once identified, the system can automatically handle payments for things like tolls, parking, or even drive-through purchases directly from the vehicle. The claims specifically focus on using this identification for these kinds of vehicle-based transactions.

Why it matters: The proliferation of advanced cabin sensors and integrated payment platforms in vehicles since 2018 makes this approach to in-car transactions more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
