Finger On the PulseIf you’re worried by car crime – and you should be – here’s the latest in automotive immobilisers. It sounds like Mission Impossible, with the biometric immobiliser using fingerprint technology to prevent your car leaving home unattended. Operation is simple, just place your digit on the dash-mounted touchpad, then start the car as normal.
Naturally, this means that even if a thief steals your keys, the car still won’t start. For multi-driver cars, you can add extra approved fingerprints and there’s a service mode, so that it can be left at a garage.
