Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to examine one or more vehicle settings having been changed after a driver enters a vehicle. Also, the processor is configured to compare the examined settings to settings associated with currently stored driver profiles and verify the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
Claims7
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- record data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
- compare the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles;
- and
- verify the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- recording data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
- comparing the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles, via a vehicle-associated computer;
- and
- verifying the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method comprising:
- recording data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
- comparing the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles;
- and
- verifying the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
