Forget fingerprint acceptance, I believe cars will have voice command after reading your pupils. That would be cool. I like the driving experience but in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I'd love to just tell the car to take over all functions while I surf the net.

We want to drive the car when the road is free and is fun to drive, in stop and go traffic, the computer should take over in auto pilot, then the human can take a nap, or surf the net.....etc.
The technology is almost there, the latest Infiniti FX has stop and go traffic computer assist.....while it doesn't completely take over yet, but it is the 1st step heading that direction.

The air verts get a lot of wow and look at thats....but everyone that sits in the back seat always says...."whoaw..I have my own mirror..." Stupid but funny. I love it when an enthusiast gets in the car and starts poking and prodding everything!

Oh brother... how many "lazy" features can an auto manufacturer come up with? I can see in a few years, using fingerprint imaging for starting up the car, so that you don't even carry a fob. Reads your finger prints for the door, and then for the ignition button that you don't even "press" you just put your finger up against it and it reads and start if match. The seats would go to your present position once the door reader reads your fingerprint. Of course there would be separate reader for electronic only, or something like that. For valet, just have a setting to set to "valet" and then at that point, it will just open and close by the valet. Ahhhhh.. how lazy we can dream.
Lexus Manual:
"To unlock your vehicle, please lick the designated point shown in the diagram to the right. The LS430 will automatically sense the DNA present in your saliva to determine that the car belongs to you. Valets may gain access to the system by rubbing their bum on the same point, although they will not have access to trunk area".

From now on when you are in other cars, everytime you have to reopen the door to reclose it because it wasn't shut all the way, remember you don't have to do that in the LS430.
Now you understand the purpose of the electric door latch?

Can't close a door?
The electric door latch is a guarantee that the door will shut 100% everytime, regardless of how soft you close the door.

Doesn't seem an interesting feature to me. Plus, having it, what do you tell your passengers? "Oh, Suzie, you don't have to slam the door, just close until the latch touches and it will closed itself." SLAM !!!! Suzie will say "Screw you, you think I'm a sissy?"
