It used to be the only way to start up a car was with that shiny key, but now there are other options. The most common alternative is pushing a button. Well if you’re not a fan of that route, now you can make sure you’re the only one that can start your car. Instead of pushing buttons or turning a key, you just have to put your pointer finger right up to that tiny scanner. If you’d like to allow a couple of other people to drive your car, you can have their fingerprints stored in the database.
Should you have a thief that’s watched too many spy movies and cuts off your finger in order to use it for the car, they’ll still be hosed. After the fingerprint is confirmed it’ll then check for a pulse, blood pressure and body temperature, cut off fingers don’t have a pulse I’m afraid. It even goes as far as to scan the capillary patterns underneath of the skin. Despite that it checks several things, it won’t actually take long for all that information to be stored. But you may want to store more than one finger and maybe a toe or two just in case you have to drive in order to escape the finger theif. Being such an in depth gadget, this isn’t exactly a cheap item. No, you’ll get stuck paying $699.95 for it at Sky Mall.
