Rf biometric ignition control system

A vehicle, comprising:

• a motor;
• an ignition configured to start the motor, the ignition having an unlocked state in which a user can cause the ignition to start the motor by actuating a start mechanism, and a locked state in which actuation of the start mechanism by the user does not cause the ignition to start the motor;
• a biometric sensor configured to sense an identifying biological characteristic of the user;
• and
• a controller in communication with each of the ignition and the biometric sensor, the controller being configured to switch the ignition from the locked state to the unlocked state dependent upon the sensed biological characteristic.

A vehicle electronic ignition control arrangement, comprising:

• a keyfob including:
• a first biometric sensor configured to sense a first identifying biological characteristic of a user;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit an air-borne signal indicative of the first identifying biological characteristic;
• and
• a vehicle including:
• a motor;
• an ignition configured to start the motor, the ignition having an unlocked state in which the user can cause the ignition to start the motor by actuating a start mechanism, and a locked state in which actuation of the start mechanism by the user does not cause the ignition to start the motor;
• a receiver configured to receive the air-borne signal from the transmitter;
• a second biometric sensor configured to sense a second identifying biological characteristic of the user;
• and
• a controller in communication with each of the ignition, the receiver, and the second biometric sensor, the controller being configured to switch the ignition from the locked state to the unlocked state dependent upon both the air-borne signal received by the receiver and the sensed second identifying biological characteristic.
