Abstract

The invention concerns a method for authorizing a driver (2) to activate at least one system (12, 14) of a vehicle (10), said method comprising a preliminary phase (100) and an subsequent phase (200) based on a biometric authentication process; wherein the preliminary phase (100) comprises: an initialization step (110) consisting for the owner (1) of the vehicle (10) in materially allowing the driver (2) to perform further steps, an enrollment step (120) consisting in scanning enrollment biometric data (21) of the driver (2), an access step (130) consisting for the driver (2) to enter the vehicle (10); a storage step (140) consisting in registering (preferably temporarily) said enrollment biometric data (21) in a secured memory (11) of the vehicle (10); wherein the subsequent phase (200) comprises: an authentication step (210) consisting in scanning authentication biometric data (22) of the driver (2) inside the vehicle (10) and comparing said authentication biometric data (22) with the enrollment biometric data (21) registered in the secured memory (11) of the vehicle (10), then an activation step (220) consisting, if the authentication biometric data (22) match with the enrollment biometric data (21), in authorizing the driver (2) to activate the at least one system (12, 14) of the vehicle (10), or a refusal step (230) consisting, if the authentication biometric data (22) does not match with the enrollment biometric data (21), in forbidding the driver (2) to activate the at least one system (12, 14) of the vehicle (10); and wherein the enrollment step (120) is performed on a biometric scanner (32) installed at a dedicated location (3), outside the vehicle (10).
