Apple was ahead of the times when it comes phone security. First it was the finger print to unlock your phone, now it’s facial recognition. But, other industries are catching up to the cellphone industry. Hyundai has just introduced the first car to operate by finger print. No keys are necessary with the Santa Fe SUV.
Hyundai plans to roll out this technology sometime in Q1 of 2019. They are claiming it’s the first time this technology is being used to not only lock and unlock your car, but to start it as well. Sensor are on the drivers door handle to unlock the car, and another sensor is on the ignition where the driver can touch to start the car.
In a press release, Hyundai says this technology will come on all their cars soon, “In the future, Hyundai Motor plans to further expand the application of the technology to allow the adjustment of temperature, steering wheel position, and many other features which will be tailored to driver’s preferences” said Albert Biermann, President and Head of Research & Development Division of the Hyundai Motor Company. “This will ultimately offer quality driving experience to each and every Hyundai customer.”
