A first camera of the recognition system may be positioned along a perimeter of a windshield of the vehicle and/or a second camera may be positioned adjacent to a rearview mirror of the vehicle. During operation the at least one camera scans for an image of the driver and compares the image to the user images stored on the database of authorized users, if the image of the driver not match any user images stored on the database of authorized users, the operating system initiates a non-operable mode for the vehicle. In one exemplary embodiment, the at least one camera also monitors the driver's head and eye movement, and the operating system initiates an audible alert upon detecting impairment of the driver based upon the driver's head and eye movement. |
