Finger Control Steering wheel with Hitachi
Central Research Laboratory of Hitachi Ltd developed a finger vein authentication system that can be installed on a car steering wheel.
The company plans to exhibit the system at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 and search for appropriate marketing strategies by researching the response from auto manufacturers and general users.
The company pointed out security and usability as two advantages of installing the finger vein authentication system in a car steering wheel. From the standpoint of security, the main application is theft prevention.
But the company reportedly sees the demand for using it also as a preventive measure against unauthorized use of “on-vehicle credit settlement.” Hitachi expects that this type of settlement will be used widely in the future.
