Considering the State of Smart Car Biometrics

It’s been a long on-ramp for the smart car concept, but things seemed to kick into a higher gear over the past year as major IT and tech companies poured resources into automotive efforts, and big brands in the car sector welcomed new collaborations. This week, a lot of that behind-the-scenes activity produced results in the form of exciting prototypes – some even drivable – at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. The event’s dedicated smart car programming helped to rev up further excitement over where this technology is headed, so it’s worth taking a moment to consider the state of the art now.

Here’s where things stand:

Innovative software is already starting to introduce smart car technology to the mass market:
