Method and apparatus for primary driver verification
A system includes a processor configured to examine one or more vehicle settings having been changed after a driver enters a vehicle. Also, the processor is configured to compare the examined settings to settings associated with currently stored driver profiles and verify the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
1. A system comprising:
a processor configured to:
record data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
compare the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles; and
verify the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to repeat the examining and comparing until a likelihood of a given driver exceeds a predetermined threshold.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to tailor features and functions of HMI displays, vehicle physical system settings, adaptive vehicle modes, and climate controls based on the verified driver.
4. A computer-implemented method comprising:
recording data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
comparing the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles, via a vehicle-associated computer; and
verifying the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method further includes repeating the examining and comparing until a likelihood of a given driver exceeds a predetermined threshold.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method comprising:
recording data relating to drive style after a vehicle is in motion;
comparing the drive style to drive styles associated with currently stored driver profiles; and
verifying the driver as a previously stored primary vehicle driver based at least in part on the comparison.
7. The storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the method further includes repeating the examining and comparing until a likelihood of a given driver exceeds a predetermined threshold.
