Abstract
Concerns about security are rising as a result of the quick development of automobile technology and the rise in car theft and illegal entry. Both contemporary smart key solutions and older key-based systems have flaws that call for stronger security measures. By utilizing distinct physiological and behavioral characteristics, biometric authentication offers a novel way to improve vehicle security. Vehicles can provide tailored and extremely secure access control systems by combining behavioral biometrics, voice recognition, iris scanning, fingerprint recognition, and face recognition. This study addresses the integration of biometric systems in car security, examining major technologies, benefits, problems, and potential next steps. Additionally, we examine whether biometric technologies reduce the dangers of identity theft, auto theft, and cyberattacks while ensuring a flawless user experience. The study also explores technological, ethical, and regulatory issues, highlighting the need of cost-effectiveness, system dependability, and data privacy for broad adoption. Biometric authentication is set to become a key component of next-generation vehicle security as the car industry embraces digital transformation. The use and efficacy of bio-lock locking mechanisms in contemporary automobiles as a novel approach to automotive security issues are examined in this study. In comparison to conventional safety equipment, the study shows a 97.3% decrease in successful theft attempts using empirical data from 2,500 cars with bio-lock systems spread across 15 nations. A mixed-methods approach blends qualitative insights from end users and industry experts with quantitative analysis of breach data. Since bio-lock systems greatly improve car security, issues including financial constraints, privacy issues, and technological restrictions need to be resolved for wider deployment. This research makes useful suggestions for the car industry and enhances the expanding topic of automotive security.
