Sensors in the car + normal traffic pattern analysis based on where you go. The sensors in the car have been capable of identifying a person by their fingerprint for a long time, and I have to imagine that has only improved. I remember a discussion about using these identity fingerprints to automatically adjust settings to the person sitting in a seat, but it was deemed too creepy at the time.

That sounds creepy as all hell, but it seems like it's definitely real. :( • https://www.hyundai.news/eu/articles/press-releases/hyundai-reveals-worlds-first-smart-fingerprint-technology-to-vehicles.html https://www.hyundai.news/eu/articles/press-releases/hyundai-... • https://www.electronicdesign.com/markets/automotive/article/21119162/fingerprint-recognition-for-the-car-use-cases-and-design-considerations https://www.electronicdesign.com/markets/automotive/article/...

> Sensors in the car + normal traffic pattern analysis based on where you go That seems quite different to what they're claiming in the article, though? Presumably many services (e.g. Google Maps) could have the same accusation levelled at them, and far more, because people don't use cars to go everywhere. > The sensors in the car have been capable of identifying a person by their fingerprint for a long time, and I have to imagine that has only improved Do you mean if I get in a random car it can tell who I am, or if I get in the car it knows it's seen those fingerprints before and they're allowed to drive the car?

Personalization for the driver(s). Other cars do it by having the settings tied to the key fob, or just by putting numbered buttons on the door.
