Chrysler unveils futuristic new car concept with facial recognition
- 7 years ago
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Fiat Chrysler recently unveiled their new electric minivan concept. The vehicle recognizes motorists and passengers for a fully customized system.
The Chrysler Portal was unveiled last January at the CES technology expo in Las Vegas. According to Automotive News Europe, it comes equipped with facial recognition technology, via a camera positioned behind the steering wheel.
Drivers need only sit for an initial scan, after which they can set a user profile, which will be stored in the cloud. For subsequent trips, an exterior camera identifies the driver as he or she approaches, and automatically adjusts car settings according to his preferences, even before he or she gets into the vehicle.
The software is reportedly robust enough to recognize drivers even when they modify their look, whether with a haircut, different facial hair, or glasses.
There’s an option to add voice recognition software for added security, as well as extra cameras around the car to recognize and save passenger profiles.
Chrysler has yet to put the Portal into production. No target price or release date has been announced, though the company revealed it may start producing the Portal or something very similar after 2018.
