US Patent 11042938 Driver identity detection and alerts

Disclosed herein are systems and/or methods for determining an insurance status for one or more drivers and/or vehicles. The system may identify a driver of a vehicle, such as by facial recognition or a retinal scan. Based on the identification, the system may determine the insurance status of the driver. If there is an issue with the insurance status, the system may prompt the driver to take some action. The system may also institute limitations upon the vehicle if there is an issue with the insurance status. In some instances, the system may determine the insurance status for multiple drivers in the area, and may warn a driver if he or she is in the vicinity of one or more underinsured drivers and/or vehicles.
