Apparently, a rotating Crystal Sphere is not gonna be the only “dope tech” highlight of the upcoming Genesis GV60, as Genesis is introducing a “Face Connect” technology as well, that allows the vehicle to recognize human faces and let the driver in without a smart key.
The technology will be used to personalize the driving experience as well. After identifying the driver through face recognition and syncing with their profile, the vehicle can improve comfort by automatically adjusting the driver’s seat and steering wheel based on their stored preferences, Genesis said. Head-up display, side mirrors, and infotainment settings will also be personalized to the driver.
Genesis’ Face Connect system uses a Near Infra-Red (NIR) camera to ensure that the technology works under any circumstances—including at night. One advantage of this technology is, of course, the driver can leave the physical key in the car itself and enjoy sports activities or swimming.
Face Connect can register up to two faces for each vehicle, and new profiles can be registered using the voice assistant. Registered faces are encrypted and stored in the vehicle, and can be deleted at any time at the driver’s convenience, Genesis said.
There’ll also be the “Fingerprint Authentication System”, where the driver can enter the vehicle using face recognition and drive off using fingerprint recognition. Enabling a Valet Mode will also happen via fingerprint authentication.
Genesis is rolling out these technologies to the GV60 first, with gradual expansion to other models.
