    in the event the quality score of the first image is determined to exceed a pre-determined threshold, determine a set of face data from the first image;

    determine a confidence index for the determined the set of face data, wherein the confidence index indicates a degree of confidence that the set of face data is likely to support correct driver identification;

    in the event the confidence index meets a confidence threshold, identify the driver based at least in part on the set of face data; and

    a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
