blogentry-133713-0-70397400-1550386775_thumb.jpgApple has gotten the rights for using Facial recognition software to unlock vehicles without using a physical key.

 

According to American media website Futurism, Apple filed for the patent was filed before recent layoffs at Apple’s self-driving car division. This is during early 2017 and it was only recently published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on 7th of February under the title “System and Method for Vehicle Authorization.”

 

The article went on to say that the a user could have two ways to use the facial recognition feature to unlock their vehicle. The first one would require the vehicle to be already equipped with the necessary software and hardware to allow the user to simply stand in front of the sensors and have their face scanned before opening the door.

 

The other way would be allowing the user to use their own phones' Face ID unlock feature to unlock their vehicle.

 

Other than the unlocking of their vehicle, the software can also allow the car to remember specific vehicle settings like climate and seat preferences for different users.

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext

You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster.
