Abstract

The present invention is a new type of luxury automobile which would implement numerous ergonomically designed innovations which would deter various criminal activities which would include car theft, carjacking, and driving under the influence. Identity is a security mechanism installed on car doors that requires a fingerprint scan prior to the keypad being revealed.

If the fingerprint scan is not recognized the keypad is not revealed and access to the vehicle is denied.

Identity would be installed during the manufacturing of the vehicle or can be utilized by existing vehicles.

Fingerprint scans would be programmed by the individual or individuals who will be authorized to entry.

More than one fingerprint scan could be programmed into identity. Anyone authorized to drive the vehicle could have their fingerprint scanned. Identity only recognizes the authorized, programmed fingerprint scans.

When identity recognizes a previously programmed fingerprint scan, the cover over the keypad opens and reveals the keypad with numbers. The number combination to open unlock the door is issued by the manufacturer.

Newer model vehicles equipped with identity would no longer have to have exterior door handles or key entries.

Identity can also be programmed as a security feature for other consumer products.
