<p>A method is proposed for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, said method comprising: utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver verification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver; performing a first driver verification procedure on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle; performing a second driver verification procedure on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein said second driver verification procedure is different from said first driver verification procedure; exercising a remedial measure to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed verification procedures; and wherein at least one of the verification procedures comprises utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, and automatically updating the previously-produced template, said automatic update being achieved by using one or more verification methods to verify the driver while one of the verification methods not used for verification is used for updating the previously-produced template if the verification process was a success, and wherein said remedial measure is exercised when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least two of the performed verification procedures.</p> |
