Patent attributes
A vehicular security system includes a remote device with a first biometric sensor. An electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle processes data captured by the first biometric sensor to determine whether an identity of the user of the remote device matches an authorized user of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining that the user is authorized to use the vehicle, unlocks a door of the vehicle to allow the identified authorized user to access the vehicle. The system includes a second biometric sensor disposed in the vehicle and, with the identified authorized user in the vehicle, the ECU, via processing data captured by the second biometric sensor, determines whether the identity of the identified authorized user of vehicle matches an authorized operator of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining that the user is an authorized operator of the vehicle, allows operation of the vehicle.
