BUTT recognition to start your cars... Simple Silly !!

 
Have you ever thought of using your BUTT as a car key and we could call this the BUTT recognition technology!!
The Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Tokyo has the solution for you! TechCrunch reports that the Japanese company has invented a car seat that contains 360 sensors that are able to determine the angle, pressure, area of contact, and other inputs from the person in the driver’s seat in order to identify the owner. If the butt on the seat doesn’t match the butt of the authorized driver, the car refuses to turn on.
The question is whether this is solving an actual problem. While this may prevent a stranger from taking your keys and driving away in your Audi, we’d think that a determined thief will be able to bypass this countermeasure the same as they currently bypass engine shutoffs, alarms, and the like. In addition, the technology reports only a 98% accuracy rating during experiments. While on the surface this sounds impressive, if you drive your car to work 250 days a year, expect to be late five times. There’s also the case of people in cold climate who bundle up for winter. Will the sensors work properly when trying to read your backside through three or four layers of clothing?

 When we can have phones to start and kill the engines of your car then whats wrong with a BUTT recogniser... But I am not convinced that this technology will ever catch on in this fashion. The researchers plan of tie ups with automobile manufactures and start its mass production within three Years...
