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.

    A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine.

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.)
