Accordingly, in the vehicular authentication device that executes this authentication processing, even if the driver taken picture by the camera is not authenticated as a normal user of the vehicle (S14:NO), starting of the engine of the vehicle can be permitted without making the driver has neither the key nor the ID card, etc. |
