Driver Identification Display from Continental and trinamiX Protects against Car Theft
Continental and trinamiX presented the Driver Identification Display, an innovative display solution for vehicle interiors that enables contactless, highly secure authentication and helps prevent fraud and theft. This new development recently won the CES Innovation Award 2023 in the “Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility” category at CES 2023 in Las Vegas.
What is the Driver Identification Display?
The Driver Identification Display is a display solution from Continental and trinamiX that combines camera and display technologies for biometric driver identification.
The technology reliably protects against car theft since the vehicle can only be started after successful authentication of the person in the driver’s seat. It increases convenience in the automotive sector in many cases, such as digital payment processes via the car display when refueling, parking, or paying tolls, as well as car rental.
How does it work?
The integrated facial authentication is based on a technology developed and patented by trinamiX. It combines facial recognition to verify the identity of the user with a new type of liveness detection: By recognizing human skin, the system prevents spoofing, for example through photographs or realistic three-dimensional masks of the legitimate driver.
The camera built into the system is used to reliably monitor the driver’s attention in order to prevent hazards such as fatigue at the wheel. For this to happen, the new Driver Identification Display from Continental and trinamiX does not require any additional sensors. The camera is seamlessly integrated into the display, making it invisible to the driver.
What are the benefits of the Driver Identification Display?
The Driver Identification Display enables contactless, highly secure authentication and helps prevent fraud and theft. It increases convenience in the automotive sector in many cases, such as digital payment processes via the car display when refueling, parking, or paying tolls, as well as car rental.
In addition, the technology can be used for payments in app stores or for access to digital services. The camera built into the system is used to reliably monitor the driver’s attention in order to prevent hazards such as fatigue at the wheel.
What are the developers say about the new tech?
According to Philipp von Hirschheydt, Head of the User Experience Business Area at Continental, “The secure identification of vehicle users is an important function for future vehicle generations. Our Driver Identification Display sets new standards in terms of security and comfort.
Displays are the key interface between the driver and the vehicle. For the first time, the Driver Identification Display offers three key functions in one package: reliable driver authentication and the option of making secure digital payment transactions via the vehicle display, for example in parking garages, at toll stations, or in app stores.
The camera, which is installed invisibly in the system, is also used to monitor the driver’s attention, which will be mandatory in Europe in the future – a particularly efficient three-in-one solution.”
Wilfried Hermes, Director of Consumer Electronics North America, and Europe at trinamiX, stated that “Continental and trinamiX share the goal of improving security and comfort for consumers. As an experienced automotive supplier and pioneer in connected mobility technologies, Continental enables us to develop new applications for trinamiX Face Authentication. Thanks to Continental’s innovative display technology, all of this goes hand in hand with a perfect interior design.”
Where can I see the Driver Identification Display?
The Driver Identification Display recently won the CES Innovation Award 2023 in the “Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility” category at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. It will be presented in Europe at the trinamiX booth (number 5J84, hall 5) for the first time at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, taking place from February 27 to March 2 in Barcelona.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Driver Identification Display from Continental and trinamiX is a game-changing technology that takes driver authentication and security to a new level. By combining camera and display technologies, the Driver Identification Display enables highly secure, contactless authentication of the driver, preventing car theft and fraud.
Moreover, this technology also enhances convenience in various automotive sectors, including digital payment processes and car rentals. The technology is also used to monitor the driver’s attention, preventing hazards such as driver fatigue.
With its innovative features, the Driver Identification Display is a highly efficient three-in-one solution that sets new standards in terms of security and comfort for future vehicle generations. Overall, the Driver Identification Display is a highly innovative technology that is sure to capture the attention of car enthusiasts and anyone interested in cutting-edge automotive technologies.
